Hallowe'en Haiku Contest

post #1 of 29
10/31/08 at 3:17pm
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 -- his/her choice of either Fougères Marine OR Aoud Hoggar Mota (a.k.a. Steam Aoud).

By the way, the poem does NOT have to be Hallowe'en related.

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

Each poem must adhere to the haiku structure (if you don't know, look it up). Extra points given for 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!

No longer the name - renamed
Montale's "Steam Aoud".

Great idea TVlampboy Here's why I'd like to win...

Montale makes vampires
recoil in disgust, hissing,
like holy water.

The one about vampires is awesome, but it has too many syllables.

Pies whirl a loud bell.
A jelly bounces a mouse.
Paint pops a sausage.

Is a katana larger or smaller than a tanto?


I should win because I know where you live

PS..The Fougères Marines will be just fine...

Scentronic my pal
Star of your own living room
please go back to bed

We had some respite
from your erratic ramblings
Sleep is calling you!

Go now, sleepy eyes
Or the sting of my bitch-slap
will be felt for days.

But on the off chance TVLampboy disagrees, here's my six attempts:

Montale agarwood
one man's stink, another's bliss
fickle Basenoters


resinous heartwood
antifungal tree resin
complex, beautiful


much trial and error
this obsession we all share
why not use Old Spice


what is that weird smell?
anybody else smell that?
rubber? forest fire?


no AdG clone
no ozonic aquatic
substantial fierce Aoud


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


That's enough time spent on this.

So yeah, when I win, someone will tell me which one to pick, right?

Burnt hair, Bigfoot's dick,
and some microwaved band-aids.
Aoud can be nice, though.

A not comMon tale

a boy went to see the world
he came home with hands empty
but full of dreams of lingering scents
