It’s Friday, and that’s Haiku Day here at IGTBTQ! Because I’m full of holiday spirit and really strong Irish Breakfast tea, I’m going to have a Haiku Contest!
Here’s the poop: enter as many times as you like. I will have a mystery guest judge read all the haiku and pick a winner, who will receive a small but heartfelt prize. It could be cookies baked with love in every morsel. It could be a Barnes and Noble $10 gift card. It might be both…who knows? I’m just that CRAZY!
Here are a couple to kick start your own Haiku Genius.
My tea has gone cold
So has my NaNo novel
Revisions next week!
I’d give that one a five. Which is a gift. Here’s another stab:
Flank steak and chicken
Marinating in the fridge
Party panic starts.
Okay, that one scored even lower. Maybe a three and a half.
Our tree is possessed
The lights turn on by themselves
We’ve got the spirit.
See why I need a contest? My haiku well is dry. Help me, Obi Wan! You’re my only hope!
***Contest will close at 8:00 pm, Pacific time today, Monday December 21st.***

It's Good to be the Queen 
Juicy explosions
Crimson pomegranate seeds
Burst between my teeth.
………………………………….
Laughter in my heart
Like a helium-filled balloon –
The tears come later.
………………………..
Faith can move mountains
Hope will hew a tunnel through –
Charity climbs them!
……………………………….
My mind’s a gypsy;
My home is not my castle;
My soul’s a nomad.
………………………………
Scintillating drops –
Splish-splash! Water splatter-spray;
Hose-pipe holiday!
Friends are always there
Whether we see them…or not
Mostly when we don’t.
🙂
Snow falls in the east
Fun for play, not for travel
Stay safe east coast friends.
