Ok, people.
We need to rally and make this the best turnout for the monthly Haiku Contest EVER. Tell your friends!
Meet the Pink Puddle Jumper:
She’s pink, and she has huge feet, and no arms to speak of. Puddle jumping is her divine calling!
I know it’s a little girly – but even if you yourself are not female, I’m sure you know a lady out there who would melt to receive such a sweet gift! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, after all.
You know the deal –
Want to win this very awesome and never before seen plush? Well, it’s easy! I think up a haiku to accompany each piece I create. All you need to do is think up the haiku that best fits this new creature, and post it as a comment. You’ve got until next Monday night, January 12th, 7 pm to get your entries in – when the winner will be randomly chosen and posted that very evening!
Before you break out in a nervous sweat – let me assure you that haiku writing is easy and fun! Just think up a quick 3 lines made up of 5, 7, and 5 syllables (in that order).
Here’s a quick example of one of mine from a previous post:
A Predatorial Haiku:
My tummy rumbles.
You won’t hear me sneaking up
On my tippy toes.
See? It’s just that easy and fun! And the winner will win this very magical plush creature that they have so deftly haiku-ed. So get those haikus in – submit as many as you’d like! A mere three lines stand between you and a life-long plush companion, or a fantastic (and free) gift for someone you love. Tell your friends! Anyone can win! And stay tuned for more contests to come – I hold them on the 5th of every month!
Yay! Now get crackin’!

I have nubby arms
that flap as I splash and squish
in wet pink puddles.

Hey Aaron…
That’s not a Haiku.
One syllable too many.
Re-read the first line.
