working late

It's been a long, hard couple of weeks at my job. I'm dang lucky I love my projects, because I've gotten to spend SO much time with them recently!!

But I need to thank everybody who's been sending in haiku contest entries. I have seriously been laughing my @$$ off every couple of hours when I receive a new email, and it's helped me survive my weekend!

I know I'm not supposed to be judging until tomorrow or something, but I HAVE to share some of these (in no particular order, with no particular favoritism, chosen largely at random, and this is only a taster).

Sushi is the best.

Didn't I just wash these socks?

Chabon waits, bathing
in Hendrick's gin and tonic
misty with desire.

Creamy central explosion
Fills my mouth—Twinkie.

writes Jewish bisexuals
holding sausages

I name my dog after you...
and my four children.

Heaven: whole leaf tea
infused with jasmine flowers
sipped with pen in hand.
--Stephanie

If it hadn't been
for the gin this haiku would
have run to seventeen syllables rather than omigid I've lost count and will someone please kiss me i feel so depressed.
--Whirlochre

Chabon-Mots for Michael
Redoubtable scribe
Fulgent, Unoppugnable
Drop Ayelet, love me!
--Christy

Special credit to those who managed to work in more than one theme!!!
