Posted on May 3, 2005 by Jorge

All You’ve Got (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
See unfortunates
They peddle on street corners
What will you give now?


No Calculators Allowed (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
You won the sweepstakes
Here’s the skill-testing question
No calculators!


Verdant (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
This word came from French
It’s green in tint or colour
Or unripe judgement


Don’t Clench (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
Try not to be stressed
Especially at bedtime
Or your jaw will hurt


Smokey (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
He thinks he’s so big
Preaching to people, but in
Secret smoking cigs


Let’s Try it With Strawberries (Requested by Theresa Warrior Princess)
We used grapes at first
And then peaches and apples
What can we try now?


Hoity Toity Transit (Requested by Drea)
Snobbery Ahoy!
Above and below the ground.
Elitist Transit


The Rules (Enforced by Jorge)
To win the contest
You have to follow the rules
Whether cute or not

Contest!

Hai-Kuultest – Part One

So, I was thinking about the fact that the 100th haiku is fast approaching. And I was thinking about having a contest for this.

The problem is that some of the haiku are my own, which shouldn’t count if it was a contest. Some of the haiku are created based on interpretations of a topic, creating more than one haiku for a request.

There is also the fact that some people do multiple requests in one comment, and some that only do one. What is to prevent someone from posting one hundred requests? Nothing.

And so, I phoned my friend Dave, and in our banter, I came up with this new idea.

To celebrate the milestone, I will hold a contest in the following manner…


Starting today, at 14:00 EST, I will be taking requests for Hai-Kuul. The 31st request wins. The rules are as follows…

  • The request must be made in the Hai-Kuul post on the sidebar as a comment. Any other Hai-Kuul request will not be counted as an entry, but I will create a Haiku for it regardless.
  • You cannot submit more than one request at a time. Thus five requests in the same comment only count as one entry.
  • You cannot submit more than one comment in a row at a time. Thus, if you were to submit two comments in a row, it would only count as one entry.
  • The Request must be original. No duplicates (which means you have to read the other ones). Duplicate requests will be deleted.
  • No members of my family are eligible for this. Any request from my family will be ignored (I will still write a haiku for the request though).
  • To receive the prize (there is only one), you must be able to provide me with a mailing address.


The 100th Haiku may or may not occur due to this contest. If it does, it is a happy coincidence.

The prize for the 31st requestor will be an 8×10 glossy limited print (2/100) of two tigers (on 8.5×11 Canon Professional Photo Paper)…



Good luck!

Special thanks to Cat for helping me out with the proofing of the rules.


UPDATE (May 18, 2005): This contest is now closed.

A Monkey On a Rock and Jorge (Contributed by Miranda)
See the two of them
Monkey and Jorge on the rock
They look quite alike


Warrior Princess (Contributed by Theresa Warrior Princess)
She stands tall and proud
Over the defeated hordes
A Princess of War


Big Feet Won’t Walk On Water (Contributed by Drea)
If Jesus had feet
That were larger than size twelves
He would have sunk fast!


Bring Back Bockey (Contributed by Drea)
This can never be
Bockey isn’t a real sport
Though you might think so…

Old Sneakers (Requested by WizenedDragonPK)
They sit on the shelf
Neglected and sad. So sad.
They stick their tongues out


Bathrobe (Requested by WizenedDragonPK)
A robe with a sash
Put it on after your bath
Or walk around nude


Briefing Notes (Requested by WizenedDragonPK)
Sit down with your mates
Go over the mission now
Remember targets!
