gawd. I can't call an end to the Haiku contest evidently. Because complaints re the validity of Zaide's poem are rolling in (well Katie is bitching, mostly because she had planned to spend the day at work composing haiku).
So I will award another prize to an actual HAIKU. Remember as Megan points out, it must be in proper haiku form (5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables). And no arty stuff. I want/need humor here. Here's what is in the running thus far:
Pia:
Snow burying car
Perfect excuse to stay home
Wrapped cozy in WUBs (World's Ugliest Blanket)
Susna:
just botched my sweater
is there nothing to behold?
all is for naught
Katie:
It's really cold out
I've shoveled thrice already
Enough effing snow
Being a nurse means
I use words like 'phalange'
And I clean up puke
Walter and Lola
Crazy ass fat little dogs
Need to come home too
Megan:
Knitters are weird folk
Talking 'bout blocking and such
Calloused phalanges
Allison, whip yours into 'haiku form', so you can be in the running! Will accept entries till Dec. 25.
hooray! glad all my whining paid off. in honor of the contest continuing, here's another one:
ReplyDeleteLavs tries to cheat us
By calling BZ winner
It was no Haiku
Here's my last one for today (probably):
Stuck at work and bored
I can be so creative
When patients are few
not sure if I can win in two categories, but if it will drive Katie crazy I'll try (wienie baby)
ReplyDeletedainty ornament
destiny-fugly fur tree
looks like pussy.
(better?)
oh you girls. Zaide stop being greedo gus. LOL on that first one Kate!
ReplyDeletei still think b should be the winner. i can just picture her reciting the dramatic joseph poem. i laughed out loud while reading that poem.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Joseph poem too. We want video Megs. Katie and I are watching a Christmas concert on Channel 2 right now, and Tim McGraw sang a song that totally reminded us of the Joseph poem. Katie was laughing pretty hard just now.
ReplyDeleteoh milk will def. come out your nose when you hear Zaide giving her dramatic reading of .... JOSEPH. See I am laughing right now, just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteNow I remember why I didn't like poetry in school; the rules are too confining! Here goes another try:
ReplyDeleteBad poet
Stuck inside and can't get out
Need cocktail
Allison...I like you.
ReplyDeleteB-Z and Laurie...I do not like you twos. You are cheaters, and if Joseph really wins then I want to enter one of my best lines EVER in a poem...If fact I think it's so good that I may have plagerized it, but my mom guarantees that can't be possible (hinting that it's bad). Here goes... (to Jeff Gordon in 5th grade) 'I would die without you, so don't commit my murder'. Now that's some deep shit.
OH WAIT...Lavs, did you realize B makes mention of a clown in her poen. Surely disqualifies her.
clowns were big in those day, there were not many professions then. And again with the plagarizing....someone google it stat, NO WAY anyone else could have come up with such dramatic line (shit) lol
ReplyDeleteOkay I am willing to concede this might be plagarized....from one of Michelles millions of diary pages (I think she went through this kind of dramatic rime in her life...the Ken Morris period.
ReplyDeletewow. that's some deep shit to lay on a 5th grade boy. I'm guessing he immediately transferred from Maywood Hills. And I did notice the clown but she's my sister so I forgive. Meg you and Katie are whiners. And Allison, I hope you will invite us all over for cocktails you DO sound like a lot o fun!
