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

Laurie said...

#1 is in the running. #2 too artsy-fartsy.

Sue said...

all is for naught

Laurie said...

Katie said...

It's really cold out
I've shoveled thrice already
Enough effing snow

Allison said...

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

Meg said...

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

Cara said...

Katie said...

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...

Laurie said...
