[Contest] Haiku time! - Closed, Winners soon

[Mireille Lemieux]

Mireille's in a Mood again, due to things beyond her control. And what better way to make herself feel better than to offer up a way for others to get a free shiny?

So here's what you must do:

Write a haiku and post it in this thread. Include a 1-2 word title, which will become the name of your pet if you win. The haiku that most inspires Mireille at the end of this contest will be used to make a non-growing pet based on the haiku itself. And by based on, I mean using the haiku as inspiration, which is purely subjective.

This contest will run from now until 26 Sep 09 at 5:00pm EST.

Good luck to all!

People may enter up to 5 different haiku.

(If you need to apply to join the guild in order to take part, please do so, then post in the main thread so that I'm reminded to come let you in.)

August

Rural county fair
drowsy in the afternoon:
cicadas and sheep.  

[prolixity]

Midsky blue

Cold sharp winter air,
vivid sky, birdseed in snow,
and far off, woodsmoke.

Plump, Red, Delicious
Trickles down my chin, juicy!

Shh, listen, ears pricked
The rhythm of the storm calls.
A soul returns home.

Twilight

A night sky at dawn
The silver fox awakens
Obnoxious birds sing.

Excruciating

Shroedinger’s fetus
A womb choked with black cobwebs

Silent falling snow
War drums beat in the distance
He will tend the fire

Distant rumbling;
rain drums on the roof. Outside,
all the earth smells wet.

My pillow calls me
blankets entreat me sweetly
just one more chapter...!

Steak and potatoes
are good, but not exotic.
Give me vindaloo!

Please don't count this one~

Tea leaf

Fragrant steam curls up
warm and damp against my face.
At the bottom, leaves.
