Here Are The Champions, My Friends

It began just three weeks ago. Now, 1,343 syllables later, we have the winners of The Haiku Buckaroo Contest (Second Edition).

There were 79 entries from 31 participants. And while I wish I could give every one of you a prize, it’s not much of a contest if you do it that way. So, on to winners!

First, I give you the category winners as selected by reader votes along with their randomly assigned prizes.

Most Disgusting Haiku

Oozing, dripping chunks
Slither down into the sock
brown, green, stinky…Poop

a single word rocks my world
that word: autism

Funniest Haiku

Husband going to leave me
I blogged about it

Submitted by Deb at San Diego Momma, winner of a $15 donation to the charity of her choice from Twenty Five Days To Make A Difference (which I am matching to make it $30 total) and $15 in her pocket via PayPal or a gift card to the store of her choice.

Most Erotic Haiku

Caress, snuggle, breathe
mouths explore, hands hold, eyes close
a shuddering moan

Now, the grand prize. Jami from not THAT different, our reigning Haiku Buckaroo, was gracious enough to select our second edition winner. It was no easy task! And she took it very seriously. She reviewed every haiku, with all names and links removed. She avoided the category voting so as not to be swayed in her decision. She did a phenomenal job.

From 79 entries, Jami narrowed it down to her favorite 4. Here they are, in reverse order, along with her comments on each.

Haiku Buckaroo Honorable Mention

Lips part, breath quickens
tongue searches for another
my love, kiss me now.

Submitted by Elaine at Blog In My Eye

Jami says: “I will admit that because I totally love kissing, this one had me from the beginning. I think making out is almost as erotic and exciting as actually … you know.”

Jami says: “Just way too funny (and maybe true?) to NOT make it to the final four.”

Haiku Buckaroo Honorable Mention

slightly unbalanced
a single word rocks my world
that word: autism

Submitted by Jenn in Holland,

Jami says: “In terms of evoking the emotion of a moment, this haiku is almost perfect. It’s a 17-syllable short story that rocked my world, too.”

THE HAIKU BUCKAROO

Circular Haiku Instructions
Way to write Haiku:
write three lines, count syllables.
Too long? Must find a

Submitted by Mo’Coffee

Jami says: “I realize that this is not a traditional, formal haiku, but I’m not a traditional girl. I was totally blown away by both the cleverness and the humor of this haiku. I will admit that on my first quick reading I missed the “circular” reference, but once I got it, it threw in just the right amount of unexpected to be a winner.”

Congratulations Mo’ Coffee! You are the winner of a Magnetic Poetry Haiku Kit, a Haiku Buckaroo Mug, and $25 via PayPal (or a gift card to the store of your choice, if you’d rather).

Congratulations to all the winners! Please, feel free to proudly display one of the following super-cool buttons on your blog. You earned it!

Thanks once again to Jami and the contest sponsors!

This was fun. I hope you’ll all be back to have another go in August!

  1. Jen in MI Says:

    It was a great contest and those were great choices for the wins. I LOVED the grand prize winner, too. Because I go for humor in general, that one and the I blogged about it just were clever beyond words.

    They were all terrific, though!

    Viva haiku and viva the buckaroos, and Leslie, too!

    (and Jami for judging, and being the Pioneer)

  2. Goofball Says:

    woooohooo congratulations to all the winners! I enjoyed reading this haiku’s very much. Thanks Leslie for hosting the contest, thanks to all the sponsors and all the other haiku writers! I had fun.

    Looking forward to August!

  3. Jerseygirl89 Says:

    OH MY GOSH, paying all those people to vote for me totally worked! I can’t believe it. :)

    Great contest, Leslie - thank you so much for all of your hard work. You are AWESOME. And thanks to everyone who voted (especially those I didn’t pay), participated and sponsored.

  4. Elaine@bloginmyeye Says:

    Great contest! Thanks to all those “behind the scenes” folk and congrats to all the winners, esp. the buckaroo as he was the inspiration for my erotic haiku. ; )

  5. Deb Says:

    Thank you for putting this together! I had great fun with this contest.

    I also loved the exposure to all the talented “haikuists” out there.

    And major big appreciation to Leslie, the sponsors, and the rest of the crew responsible for all that is Haiku Buckaroo!

    Thanks again!

    […] Yea! I won a prize, people. Ok, it was random, but it’s still a really great prize (a matted photo of Allison’s). And I got an honorable mention. And my honey is the haiku buckaroo! Go check out the other winners. I thought everyone did a great job on this contest. […]

    […] February 25, 2008 Close doesn’t count in Haiku.  I came in 2nd with my piglet haiku.  The winners can be found here, if you’re interested.  I think the key is to enter in every category.  Maybe I’ll do that next time. […]

    Leslie, you run a good contest. Hats off to you and the winners. They were very good.

  11. jenn in holland Says:

    Such a great time for all of us. I am so happy that Jerseygirl is getting chocolate! Really, I think that is almost as exciting to award a prize as it is to receive one.
    Thank you Leslie for all your work in getting it and keeping it all organized. You are the buckaroo’s dream come true.
    Thanks to Jami for all the careful judging. She is one helluva woman!

  12. soccer mom in denial Says:

    Congratulations to the winners - great poetry all! Great job Jami as judge. And thanks again to you Leslie for hosting this terrific contest. You are keeping us on our toes.

    So Elaine, where should I mail the photo?

  13. Angela Says:

    Congratulations to all of you, and thank you, Leslie, for inviting us to participate! Maybe next year, I’ll write too (although Haiku is not my strong point–hehe).
