The Haiku Buckaroo Contest, Volume 7
by Leslie
So, maybe you thought I’d kicked the haiku habit. I mean, things have been a little light in the 5-7-5 verse around here. But that’s the thing about addiction – you can relapse! So let’s celebrate the hopeful return of the Daily Haiku with a reprisal of the semi-annual (and completely underrated) Haiku Buckaroo Contest!
Here’s how to enter:
Write a haiku.
(A haiku has 17 syllables:
seven in the second line
five in the third line
Just so you know.)
Bloggers: Post your haiku on your blog. I’d love it if you’d mention this contest in your post in a linky fashion. It’s the first step in establishing a cult following and it’d be nice to help a girl out. Once your post is published, submit a link directly to your entry post with the Mr. Linky below.
Non-Bloggers or Bloggers Who Don’t Want To Post It On Their Blog For A Reason I Don’t Understand But Support Because I Am Young and My Heart Is An Open Book and I Say, “Live and Let Live”: Submit your haiku via this entry form. I will provide a page on which all non-blogger haiku submissions will appear. Once your submission is received, it will be included on the non-blogger haiku submission page and a link to it will be added to Mr. Linky under your name.
You may enter more than once. Each haiku will be judged individually.
The contest winner (a.k.a. The Haiku Buckaroo) will receive:
The contest deadline is 11:59 p.m. EST, Wednesday September 1st. The winner will be announced on Monday September 6th.
Just seventeen syllables
And it could be you
Good luck!

Well, got my first one in! It’s crap, but it’s a blog post if nothing else.
yeaaaaay , I’ll play
OK, you told me the coast was clear and I could come out of the haiku protection program and enter again, so I have because I really want the t-shirt (since I didn’t get one) and a mug to match the one I have. Towards that end, I just submitted a bunch of haikus but I’m all done – no more, I promise. However, the 4th and 5th ones I submitted (or numbers 5 and 6 in the list) are the same because I pasted when I should have copied, so one of those can be deleted. And the first four I submitted can go together as two pairs but don’t have to.
Well, I wrote about my sweet boys since that’s what my life is all about these days! But I don’t mind one bit.
Thanks for the contest!
