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.

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
[…] CLICK HERE TO VOTE! […]
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!
[…] So if you don’t mind dropping by to vote for “. . . I sat on piglet” in the funniest category, I would appreciate it. While you’re there, vote for the haiku of your choice in the other 3 categories. […]
I am so honored! Yay!
[…] Anyway, you don’t have to walk for miles to cast your vote. You can just click here. […]
[…] Go enjoy the great haiku, and cast your vote for your faves. […]
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!!
[…] One of my goals for this year is to write more poetry. I am really enjoying the challenge. What’s really cool is that I found out this morning I’m a finalist for the Most Evocative Haiku for the Haiku Buckaroo contest over on My Mommy’s Place. My entries can be found here and here. I had a blast writing these and entering, but I had no idea I’d end up a finalist. Go cast your votes for your favorite Haiku. A’Muse’ Me Monday Comments protected by Lucia’s Linky Love. […]
Love them! So honored to be in the same category with these “Grand Masters of the Haiku.”
Do finalists vote too?

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.
[…] Vote for the haikus you like best. […]
[…] Leslie has the finalists in every category up for the Haiku Buckaroo contest. The fact that she has time to run a contest, while pregnant, and a toddler, is evidenced by her amazing blogging/multi-tasking capabilities. She will have no trouble finding her balance after number 2 comes along. Now it’s time for you guys to vote. I have my favorites, and even though I’m a finalist in TWO categories, Leslie tells me, I’m going to vote for the best ones. I hope you do too. Go vote. You have until February 24, 2008. Midnight.

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.
[…] In other news, I’m a finalist in the “Most Disgusting Haiku” category over at My Mommy’s Place. Shameless plug: go vote for me! […]
[…] My English degree is finally paying off… 18 02 2008 […]
[…] And if you don’t mind dropping by Haiku Buckaroo part two to vote for my haiku “. . . I sat on piglet” in the funniest category, I would appreciate it. […]
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.
[…] February 21, 2008 Hey y’all I’m running second in the Haiku Contest. If you haven’t voted, do you mind going by and voting for “I sat on piglet” in the funniest category? And if you HAVE already voted, how about e-mailing all of your family and friends and convincing THEM to vote for me. […]
