The Fluther Haiku Contest


Okay all you haters of my 'Knitting Poem', I am throwing down the poetry gauntlet! I challenge you to write your own haiku! Winner will get a specially knit Christmas ornament from yours truly, so be creative!
Here are a couple of my own haiku (and be forewarned, I am a haiku master. I was the 5th grade accelerated reading haiku shogun!)

Snow falling gently
Burying my golden Kia
Where are my tire chains?

Tiny knitted pieces
Fall from my needles quickly
Now lost under chair

Christmas in three days
How did it come so quickly
Elves please wrap for me

    Your elves did wrap for you...sort of.

    Haiku #1
    Snow burying car
    Perfect excuse to stay home
    Wrapped cozy in WUBs
    (World's Ugliest Blanket)

    Haiku #2
    Earth blanketed white
    Beautiful, crystalline snow
    A wintery gift

    Blizzardly conditons
    Children going stir crazy
    Can't venture outside
    Having a cocktail

    Knitters are weird folk
    Talking 'bout blocking and such
    Calloused phalanges

    okay here's another one...

    Cara and Tony
    Need to come back to Spokane
    Leave Virginia now!

    or how about:
    Being a nurse means
    I use words like 'phalange'
    And I clean up puke

    I'm on a roll now:
    Walter and Lola
    Crazy ass fat little dogs
    Need to come home too

    I could do this all day...
