A call to the creative folks out there - I need your help with a contest. Brian's friends have always had fun with Haikus. I have always been severely lacking in that creativity department.
Cara at January One blog is offering me beautiful yarn if I can impress her with my yarny Haiku. Plus, I'd just like to see your crazy ideas.
"How to win: WRITE A HAIKU. But not just any haiku. YOU MUST USE AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOLLOWING WORDS IN YOUR HAIKU: january, one, rock(s), jet, fall, sheep, wool, feet (or foot), knit, yarn, pirate, fest, dude, fantastic, worm (that is WORM. With an O. My 5.5 yr old nephew gave me that one.) AND EVERY HAIKU MUST USE THE WORD SOCK. (So that means FOUR REQUIRED WORDS.)"
Here is my first attempt:
searching for clean socks
the pirate stands alone cold
dude you have one leg

Pirates cannot knit
Hooks snag yarn and drop stitches
Argh! No socks for me
Dude where's my sheep? My
sock has a hole. I need some
wool to fix it. Splash.
Wool comes from sheep. You
cannot knit socks from a worm
Or a pirate. Splash.
Making her laugh counts for points! Brian almost cried he laughed so hard.
I can fly so high
pirate jet fantastic plane
arrgh I forgot socks
pirate socks the sheep
those worms make fantastic silk
where is PETA now?
My attempt....
Fall asleep and dream
of sheep with socks on their feet.
Wooly irony!
Hey Ang! My first Haiku attempt since grade school!
Fantastic January
