Yes, it’s Haiku Friday. But you know what else it is? It’s the Haiku Buckaroo Contest at My Mommy’s Place. That means you – or, I hope, me – can win fabulous prizes for writing haiku. PRIZES, people. And for those of you afraid to write haiku? (Don’t worry, everyone’s afraid of something.) You can still head over there to vote during the week of the 18th. Which you definitely should, especially if you decide to vote for me.
Anyway, I need to pick one of these haiku (haikus?) to enter in the contest. And that’s where you get to help me out. Which one should I enter? You can just leave the number of your favorite in the comments. Thanks for helping!
1.Wuv oo Lovebug says
Wrapping chubby arms around
My precious baby
2. I am a princess
I need to check my email
Ironflower smiles
3. Oozing, dripping chunks
Slither down into the sock
brown, green, stinky. . .Poop.
4. loud and stubborn or
passionate exuberance
depends on the day
5. Bang, scream, clank, yell, thud.
Silence propels to boy’s room
All well but my heart
6. Caress, snuggle, breathe
mouths explore, hands hold, eyes close
a shuddering moan
7. Family hug time
comforts mommy very much
and the kiddos too

I like the first one best.

YOU are soooooo good at this! And to think when we met, you said you did not like poetry as much as I did!
hubby // February 8, 2008 at 11:57 pm |
#2 is very good, but it is not clear that this is what Ironflower is saying!
jerseygirl89 // February 9, 2008 at 10:45 am |
Janet – Hai-poo! I love that!
LunaNik – You really think so?
AFF – That one is kinda my favorite too.
Hub – I can’t believe you actually came here!
Thanks. Haiku is poetry I can access – not like all your fancy stuff. 
Ironflower is saying both things, of course.
