Haiku contest--enter to win!!

I was thinking about what to post today and decided to have a contest. YAY! The winner will get a $10 Amazon gift card emailed to them.

Today's contest--write a haiku about high school life from the point of view of a teenager (it could be an imaginary one, or someone you know/knew in school, or even yourself). It can be funny, serious, or whatever floats your boat.

For those who may not be familiar with haiku form, it's 3 lines of unrhymed poetry with 5 syllables on the first line, 7 syllables on the second line, and 5 syllables on the third line.

Here's my laaaaame example:

I hate our school food--
Pizza doesn't go with corn!
Sandwiches for me.

Okay, give it your best shot and enter the haiku contest today no later than midnight, EST! The best haiku will win, and the winner will be announced on tomorrow's blog post.

Good luck!!

Haiku-koojoob


I am the walrus

is a very weird song, right?

What is an eggman?


And why do I care?

Because it's stuck in my head

And I can' t escape.



What is the reason

that I'm writing in haiku

on this random day?


No reason really

other than something to do

that costs no money.


So, riddle me this,

using your mad haiku skills,

...weekend plans or not?
