Haiku competition

Not many entries so far - so come on you lot, get inspired and inspire us!

Eddie Gibbbons is slavering at his judging table and we'd hate to disappoint him.

Well, I'm up for it ... just waiting to see how many others are too coz, at the moment, it seems like it will cost me Â£2 to enter and I'll win Â£1 (being the only entrant). I know, I'll enter two hundred times then I can afford to take Mrs. S. out for a slap-up meal on my winnings! arf.

I would enter, but I have no idea how to write a Haiku.

I too have a really rubbish Haiku ready to go. 5-7-5, right? Are there any submissions yet? And if there are, where are they? Ben.. www.thedevilbetweenus.com

5-7-5 is correct. We have two entries already. One fromMmissi and one from Tim Smillie so go to their home pages and dig them out. I also put up two as 'come ons'. you can find them at: http://www.abctales.com/node/544931 http://www.abctales.com/node/544930 If you can't do better than that then we're all in trouble!

Don't know why one of those didn't make a link. Try again: http://www.abctales.com/node/544931 See if that works!

I entered just to get the ball rolling and fully expected that you'd be inundated with classy smart-arse entries. Surely it isn't gonna be just me, Tim and slaphead!

Thanks Yutka, you're lovely to me as always, but let's face it, poetry isn't my thing. I just thought it was amazing that V.G. sectioned himself (as I understand it) and then painted starry night - which i love - which supposedly insane! Amazing man. Ben.. www.thedevilbetweenus.com

sorry typo - 'when supposedly insane' that should read.

Just saw yours, Y, it's great. I'm going to go to that Munch exhibition in London, but just not the same without the scream. Let's hope the thieves aren't anxious unncecessarily.... :) Ben.. www.thedevilbetweenus.com

Well I've entered! Tony, I was wondering if it might be a good idea if a thread was started for the entries to be posted into so they can be seen altogether rather than having to search right through the recently added looking for them? A.

We'll put them all together from a link on the front page when they are all in! Or rather, Mark will!
