Oceans carry waves
Just as your brain carries thoughts
Make the waters calm


A dove or a snake
Of which one is the wisest
One is pure, one is clever
A dangerous couple

I'd sell my guerlain
to the devil himself
to win my Montale


Luca told me so
I should've known better
Nothing smells like aoud

Coco, said Jean Claude
I'm simply going coco
As if it was my premiere


Vendome is your place
Montale is your true name
but your bottle's mine


Let Patricia cry
Let Bernard shout and scream
for they lack Montale


From the Middle East
you take the aoud, remember
you took it for me

After Halloween
Restless souls are quiet today
Sleeping in their graves.

Laying flowers there
Memories of good times swirl and
Float like Autumn leaves.

Scent of loam and grass
Join with the lilies I bring
Honouring your life.

Soon I'll be back home
Stalking the postman all day
Awaiting my prize.

Enticement

To win a bottle
I would bend over backwards
Just for you, naked


Truth

dpak shines a light:
Lampboy is no transvestite
SirSlarty, no knight.


Regret

Why did I buy Boss?
Hugos smell has made me cross.
Help me recoup loss.


Threat

Sportsmanship? Never!
SamplerMike and LuciusV
Return if I lose.


Android Sheep

Tin skin, circuit brain.
Do robots dream of fragrance?
Sleep comes. Does Montale?

Size

Satisfy desire.
Could Montale be the one true
That does not fall short?

Costume

What am I missing?
Wig and Shroud for Halloween,
Oh, that's right. Montale!

The One

One Million misses,
So does everything by Boss.
Could it be Montale?

Starshine

Montale in the night
Morning comes and it's still there
Gliddy Glop Gloopy

Olfaction

Barbra Streisand claims
She would never fix her nose
She smells more Montale

Online

Basenotes is the place
You can always be yourself
Please give me my prize

Innuendo

Oh dear God I'm close
Like a carrot at my nose
Lamp Boy bring it home!

Me

I should win Montale
Just because I want it more
Nothing personal

Math

Let me count the ways
Why I should be winning this
Five, Seven and Five

The Contest:

write a good haiku
tvlampboy will decide
one lucky winner


Struggle for Victory:

pity, lust and thirst
rank desire and aggression
all shall be revealed

Climax:

fast and furious
come the bawdy basenotes bards
eyes tear, my head hurts

The Outcome:

it's a mystery
I should be doing homework
beating heart distracts...!

A 5-7-5 for M7

M7 my freelancer,
battle cry of a hawk make a dove fly
and a tear dry


and a 7-5-7 'ish for the mighty yatagan

Yatagan wonder why the lone wolf
don't run with a clan
only trust instincts and be one with the plan

Finally a tribute to SANDALWOOD

just the air around him
an aura surrounding the heir apparent
a peasant but shine like grand royalty

Drum roll, please . . . .

Aiona and Lian had some marvelous entries, as did dpak, supracuhz and mrclmind.

Still, I'm going to be decisive here and award the grand prize to Redneck Perfumisto for those hilarious haikus of his, with Scentronic coming in very close behind in second place. (RP may pick one of the two Montales first, then Scentronic may have the other.)

RP: PM me with your choice, please, as well as your address. Scentronic, please PM me with your address. (By the way, it's very likely that I won't be able to get to the Post Office until Wednesday or so, so please bear with me.)

Thanks SOOOO much to all of you who entered -- there were some downright wonderful entries, and my decision was not an easy one -- not at all. (Contests such as these simply serve to further remind all of us how very many talented, articulate Basenoters there are out there in Cyberville!)

Thanks again, my fellow scenthounds!

(I'd rather it were limericks, though. . . .)

Congratulations, Scentronic and RP!

Once more, prejudice
Rears it ugly head against
Those who aren’t human.


A few of my favorites...

From olafurson:
who's wearing cologne?
did you wear that on purpose?
dude you smell funny


From Lian:
My boyfriend is an
ass. Poisons my tea tonight.
Girls in costumes suck

Damn, I may have to move to Iceland.


All of Scentronic's, but especially this:

Time to die, honey.
You never should have cheated.
... Drink the Kouros, bitch!

Thanks, tvlampboy, for distracting me from real work! Next time, Sonnets!
