Alright. Here we go. Your Haiku Buckaroo (Second Edition) category finalists.
But! Before you scroll down and start clicking away, I’ve got some stuff to tell you!
Okay, these category finalists? They were hard to choose! And so, our panel of distinguished judges elected to drop the “Most Inspiring” Category and change the “Scariest” Category to “Most Evocative.” This means there are four categories: Most Erotic, Most Disgusting, Most Evocative and Funniest. Additionally, there will be three winners chosen at random rather than one (to adjust for the deletion of one category and the addition of a prize: a Shakespeare action figure courtesy of Jen at A2EATWRITE).
Voting is open until February 24th, 11:59 p.m. EST, so get clicking!
Congratulations and good luck to the category finalists! Feel free to grab this button for your blog to promote your bad self:

If you’re not a category finalist, don’t fret! Remember, three additional winners will be chosen at random and THE Haiku Buckaroo has yet to be named…it could be you!
Winners will be announced on Monday, February 25.

I voted! They are a whole bunch of great haiku’s.
Great haikus! I loved the ease of voting, too. BTW… I left something on my blog for you yesterday.
Now I don’t feel so bad that I flaked out and didn’t write a Haiku. I never would have stood a chance…these are awesome!
My, my didn’t you just go all high tech with this voting thing.
I like it! Thanks for hosting this contest again. What fun!
This was so much fun! I’m so honored to be nominated with some great ones!
I am so honored! Yay!
Had to look up “evocative”… your blog made me feel dumb.
You got some great ones there. I voted in all categories (including “evocative”). Good luck to all!!
Love them! So honored to be in the same category with these “Grand Masters of the Haiku.”
Do finalists vote too?
Deb
Wow - I can’t believe I’m a finalist. I voted in all the categories except the Evocative category.
Deb - Absolutely! Vote away!
Those are so great. Some really spoke to me and it was fun to vote.
Love the high-tech voting! And great entries and categories. But I still think there should be a Haiku-excuse category for those of use struggling to come up with a decent entry…!
Is it just me or do I feel sadly poetically deficient? Sigh. I can’t put two words together that rhyme.
I am sooo bummed I missed it, I wrote one and everything the second I read you were doing this…oh well, next time. Great bunch of Haikus and I voted for my faves!
Ah, I am so touched. And I mean that in the emotionally pleased way, not in the mentally neurotic way. Or wait, maybe both apply.
Thanks Leslie, for running the contest. It’s always so much fun to hang out with you. I really do appreciate the nod and the linky love. I love linky love.
