I'd Like To Thank The Academy. . . .

of Haiku Buckaroos and everyone who voted. Even people who didn't vote for me. Because you know what? I won Most Disgusting and Most Erotic ANYWAY.

Uh, I mean, it was an honor to be nominated and I'm glad you voted for the best haikus, no matter whose they were.

Because no matter what YOUR feelings on the matter, I get to display this:



And let me also thank Leslie, who was able to pull off this contest while being pregnant, mother of the amazing Julia, Etsy goddess, fantastic baker and great blogger.

In addition to being a Haiku Buckaroo, I have also had the honor of being tagged by the wonderful Silken for the six word memoir meme.

Here are the rules:

1. Write your own six word memoir.

2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.

3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.

4. Tag five more blogs with links. (And here Jerseygirl rebels by tagging no one. If you want to do it, join in.)

5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

My Six Word Memoir Is: Did You Really Just Say That?

People Have Died For the Right To Vote, You Know

They have fought in wars. They have been in dangerous protests. They have lobbied Congress. They have walked for miles without stopping. All for the right to vote. A lot of us don't appreciate our right to vote anymore. We might think of it as a chore, even.

But voting in the Haiku Buckaroo contest is no chore. It's a pleasure. Really. If you want, you can even vote for me.

I am the first entry in both the "Most Erotic" and "Most Disgusting" categories. I'm not sure what that says about me.

Anyway, you don't have to walk for miles to cast your vote. You can just click here.

Haiku Friday - Haiku Buckaroo Edition

Yes, it's Haiku Friday. But you know what else it is? It's the Haiku Buckaroo Contest at My Mommy's Place. That means you - or, I hope, me - can win fabulous prizes for writing haiku. PRIZES, people. And for those of you afraid to write haiku? (Don't worry, everyone's afraid of something.) You can still head over there to vote during the week of the 18th. Which you definitely should, especially if you decide to vote for me.

Anyway, I need to pick one of these haiku (haikus?) to enter in the contest. And that's where you get to help me out. Which one should I enter? You can just leave the number of your favorite in the comments. Thanks for helping!

Slither down into the sock

4. loud and stubborn or

passionate exuberance

depends on the day

 

5. Bang, scream, clank, yell, thud.

Silence propels to boy's room

All well but my heart

 

6. Caress, snuggle, breathe

mouths explore, hands hold, eyes close

a shuddering moan

comforts mommy very much
