Haiku Contest

post #1 of 124

Thread Starter 
Want to win a free bottle of Montale? I will present to the winner of this contest (see details below) one 3.3 oz. bottle of Montale edp -- yup, his/her choice of either Fougères Marines OR Aoud Hoggar Mota (a.k.a. Steam Aoud).

The contest itself? Write a haiku telling all of us why you should win. (Pretty freakin' simple, huh?)

The poem does not have to be Hallowe'en related.

Each poem must adhere to the haiku structure (if you don't know, look it up). Extra points will be awarded for cleverness and humor, so work it, girls and boys, work it. (Work it like ya mean it . . . shake your moneymaker . . . Sashay, Chanté . . . go to town . . . stick a feather in your hat and call it macaroni . . . be the dog's bollocks AND the cat's pajamas!)

The winner will be announced 24 hours from now, or thereabouts, at dusk (CST) on All Saints Day.

Get crackin', kids!

Great contest TV,
But Jillsy's lame poetry
Should never be seen.

Montales do not like my chemistry, so I don't want to enter the competition. Only wanted to say I'm very much enjoying reading this thread!

Yeah I agree - Maybe in order to be eligible, the posters should select just one haiku, and edit out the rest. We all want a shot!

Oh what shall I do?
Half the candy still remains,
Trick-or-treaters few!

Jujyfruits galore,
Junior Mints and gummy eyes
All, my diet mock

What harm can there be
In a little candy corn
Or a Kit-Kat bar?

Next year I must buy
Only candy that I hate
But tonight, I feast!

What is it to love?
To be delighted in the hapiness of others.
Why is evil this rough?
To contrast good and evil in another.
But then.. philosopher... why does it exist?
For good to shine, and forever to persist!
Philosopher.. do we know by reason in itself?
Knowledge is like beauty hidden in a shelf.
Why is knowledge hidden?
in nature, naturalistic truths are nearly forbidden.
So tell me then, philosopher... what is there beyond nature?
The metaphysical form of the good by senses making its waiture.
So how do you define an ethical base to life?
My student.. forvever living by olfactory gift.

Hmm i'm drunk, i'll update it further tomorrow. I want the scent and i have some literary talent

The sea is blue, the
Fern is green. And your boy Red
Needs Fougères Marines.

But sea can be green
Ferns brown and dead. So Steam Aoud
You can give to Red.

Your tale is out of this world,
Montale is Oud of
Unspoken tales of roses.

Notice I have willfully inverted the 5-7-5 into a 7-5-7 structure, but then English syllables don't really correspond to Japanese "Moren" anyway.
