When chasing the machine elf,

you might trip and fall!

well, after considerable difficulty, a whole lot of reading and re-reading, and much indecision i'm pleased to announce the winners of the haiku poetry competition.

well done to peaceful_son and the dude, who each get a ticket to EGA09. i would like to thank ronny for kindly donating the EGA tickets. if you haven't got your ticket yet, be sure to get one soon -- tickets are selling out fast! www.entheo.net

i would also like to thank everyone who submitted a poem. there were over 125 entries and i was impressed by the high quality of the poems. choosing a winner was no easy task, and i hope this competition has encouraged more people to get into haiku B)

Awaken in the cool rain

An old road travelled

Cracks appear in it's surface

Repair is skin deep

The souls reflection

On the universal sky

Is seen by many

Promises are made

Making money, shaking hands

Watch the rodents crawl

Metallic ringing

Deep and heavy drum beats fade

Pace quickens, sweat forms

Single flower blooms

Aww look! It's sho shweet and cute

Can't wait to see seed

Intense, spiritual

Feel the connection of souls

It has forgiven

communications persist

Wow thanks heaps Ronny, very generous of you. Lets hope she's revived.

Here's an ode to my latest acquisition -

Her smooth alloy frame

Hitting the vapor genie

So sweet on my breath

all right i got a few

 

zebra unicorn

Did I mention she flies?

She totally does

two tabs and a bike

mushroom tea for hydration

multiple pipe stops

Night under the jetty

The tastiest part of the squid?

Probably its soul

Earwax crucible

Quite loud is the rattle of

cosmic vibration

leaves fall from the oak

cubbies and children follow

but not the acorn

i don't really know how to haiku so...

winter greets coldly

upon shaded mulch south side

connection awaits

:)

edit: it's 5 syllables then 7 then 5 right??? in a simplified translated engrish version?

the bitter dirt flows

pushing through all that there is

breathes shallow freedom
