Okay I have to be honest. When Tricia announced the contest for the fall haiku I had no idea what a haiku was. I have a college degree so I am not sure how this happened, but alas I did not know. My husband was seriously shocked by my lack of knowledge.
Anyway my haiku is now one of the top 8. I called him and said "I may not know what a haiku is but I can write one." :) Thanks Tricia for choosing mine to be in the 8. I am on cloud nine.
I am not sure I can wait until OCTOBER 31!!
Congratulations on making the top 8! I am off to read them and vote!
LOL, Man you and I sound alike!! I had no clue (and yes I too went to college!) what one was had to read the forum AND google it. Wrote one and it's also in the top 8!?!?!??!?!?! Dumb luck I guess! lol
Congrats!!!!!!
LOL. good Luck to you. Maybe we can be 1 and 2!Quote:

Under offers/contests on the front page. Go to no tricks, just treats and they are at the bottom.
How funny is that!!
I'm anxious to hear who else is in the top 8 because I didn't look at any of the userids when I picked them.
Congrats on being on the list! They are all so good!!!! This is going to be hard to pick!!!!!
WAAAAA! I wanna read them!!! I don't know why I can't!!! They are not at the bottom of the "no tricks just treats" page ????
What internet browser are you using have you tried another!
BTW so you can read them
Vote for your favorite!! You may choose only one.
1) crunch of leaves, crisp air
smells of pies, bright starry skies
senses awaken
2) Trick or Treating kids.
Send them home all sugared up.
What a treat for Mom.
3) A Treat for a trick
Small pirates and princesses
Candy, dentist woes
4) Witches' cauldrons bubble,
Strange indgredients floating around,
Best to hide my FROGS!
5) Weight Watchers points gone
No more orange candycorn
Hidden out of sight
6) Full moon, foggy night
The leaves crunch under my feet,
pumpkin candles glow.
7) Children Trick or Treat
Ruby red candy apples
Sweet sticky fingers
8) When the SUNSHINE fades
kids in costumes seek REWARDS
of sugary treats!
I voted! Good luck guys!
Hey thanks!
After I voted (yes, I voted for mine) I could not see them anymore. I wanted to show my hubby mine but couldn't. Thanks
They are all really good :)
I only see one that doesn't follow the rule and it's easy to see how it could have been overlooked.:confused:Quote:

ETA: Thanks for posting !!!! It was fun reading them. Now to figure out how to vote!!!
Since technically the haiku can be written in different ways, we didn't want to penalize anyone for not following the traditional syllable count. We figured that we would leave it up to the members and if you didn't want to vote for one because it didn't follow the 7,5,7, you could very well do that. But we did find some authorities online that said that the syllable counts could vary.
DARN IT!!!! :computer: I was the 1st one to know what it was, and submit mine, and Mine didn't make the cut. LOL DARN YOU HAIKU'S!!!!! :rotfl:
:heart:, grumpy V
Mine didn't make the cut either......but I understand your "frustration", after all there were FREE COOKIES on the line!!!Quote:

The good news is that if our sales this month are good for the promo we are running with them, they will continue to give us cookies for our prizes. :)Quote:

I loved reading them all - and I'm glad I read them all more than once before voting because they disappear after you vote!
