I tried to get them all, we are only allowed 20 items per vote, next time I'll know to limit it there.

Good luck!

Brendan, do us a favor and paste it into a reply message because they aren't hyperlinking this way, and to cut and paste all that would be very time-consuming. Or go one better, just post the Haiku's here and give them registration numbers or something.

Thanks.

i fixed it

I relate best to wpshreve's sentiment, and so voted for that one, but Marie gets points for the best effort at actual poetry.

I vote for Pegatha's "Shiny White Knight"....but I can't!

I also tried to vote for 1/2 dozen,but couldnt do so either.

I can't edit the poll for some reason. Just mark your vote here in the comments if you don't see the one you liked.

Rumsfeld went to Mosul
To kick butt? or cover his ass?
Wise men went the other way.

Well here's a new one. I don't come up with good things on the fly.

"Sharing a Bad Haiku is Caring"

Can't wait 'til I'm done
Writing a Haiku's no fun
You can have this one

I missed this thread, but I thought I would post a couple of my own.

Election Stolen
The entire world in turmoil
W has no soul

Another son dies
another mother that crys
For oil was the prize

excellent words

Tazuri, your second one reminded me of this one that I wrote in the summertime:


sorrow of war

child's cry in the night
bomb has found it's deadly site
small limbs strewn on ground

Mourning Dove Caller©2004

OK can some one tell me who the winner is PLEASE

Yo brendan! Can you include my first one too? That doubles the odds of not going down into total defeat.

this ain't school

Only 14 votes....pretty pathetic aint it!!!!!!!!!

We have a DEAD HEAT:
wpshreve "Common resident..." link [ 3 ] [21.43%]
ShawneeDaughter's "In the midst of hopelink [ 3 ] [21.43%]

VOTE PEOPLE!

ShawneeDaughter's "In the midst of hope" I'm in love! :-)

Ok the jury has reached a verdict...

Shawneedaughter

Who appointed YOU as the jury?!?

I did vote for Shawneedaughter's poem, but let the votes decide.

And to think I am the one responsible for my own crushing loss. Shawneedaughter didn't know about this contest until I PM'd her. Can we disqualify her for that (yo, brendan!)?

Yo brendan, can I get extra credit because I've never in my life written a haiku before or whatever it's called?

By the way, I voted for you, wpshreve!!

Like me I didnt even know what one was.....I recon that being from so far from you guys that I should have the first award,,,stick it above my PC and adfter getting a pic of it use it as my avatar :D :D :D :D

I wanna Newbie award! I wanna sticker too!

I wanna more votes!

Ok, I'll give you a symbolic vote!

Sorry, I used up my real one.

crward, I love your haiku so you get my symbolic vote also.

I suppose I won't commit suicide if I lose this contest. However, I am not used to failure and am very confused and depressed by this unusual situation so I may just do it anyway. First I must spend some time in meditation and medication so as to understand what has befallen me.

I suppose I can eventually adjust to life going on if shawneedaughter wins instead of me, and that is because

BOTH OF US LIVE IN M O K A N !!!!

KANSAS AND MISSOURI

However, if I can ever catch up with my son, that's one more vote for moi.

keeping thread alive until my son reappears ....

We drift together
Find comfort and common ground
Hope for the future

sorry everyone else - but this one was by Sapphire..
to me it says it all!

I tried to vote but I wasn't allowed to.

So I'll vote here. ONE MORE VOTE FOR MY MOM!

Score is now 6 for shawneedaughter and 5 for wpshreve.

I want to be able to vote 'for me as well' but the system wont allow it.


Bah humbug....hehehehehe :D :D :D :D :D

GEES this is funny and fun!

On Haiku ground
the winter morn
we are here together
to laugh and scorn
pray noble night
that I might see truth
of heart by evening's dusk
giggle I must

I see a lot of good new ones. Should we say the first vote involved voter suppression and voter apathy, and ask to do it over?

You mean theres 20 Hiawian Islands? WOW I thought there were maybe 6 of them!!! Well I likem all, Hey lets do the hula and drink some funny colored drinks before I vote!!!

OK Brendan.....What does it take to 'bribe the umpire'.....do we have a WINNER!! :D :D :D :D :D

LOL

You mean YOU have electricity in YOUR part of M O K A N

I'm starting to feel as if I live in Barbados....the Barbados with the sub zero temps. :D We lost power for 4 days and then when it came back on we lose power for a bit each day, usually the time that I sit down at the computer. Before the storm, wpshreve, there was a car accident 'down the road a piece' LOL :D and we lost phone service for 5 days. I think a cow wandered out in the road and some sumabitch hit it. I went from living right outside NYC, where you can get GOOD Chinese food at any time 24/7 to living in East Bumble F**k. LOL
