Feel Wayfriend's hammer,

Don't take it personally

It just struck me as I saw you "lay down the law" for the end of the contest

Like a rent Raver
No apotheosis for
a lame revenant

(in other words, I got nothin')

Oh yeah, this might be my favorite:

Hyperception's

Claws rend my back's flesh
Tendrils of pure brilliance: my
Excoriation

though I also really like Kaydene's

The unambergrised,
one-shoe'd wench starts to run, her
pumpkin black, rotting.

Not sure what's going on, but I like the imagery.

Hope I'm not too late!

Turkey and dressing
Pumpkin pie indigestion
Ineluctable

I liked MM's "ineluctable" entry.

thanks! It's supposed to be referring to Cinderella. Or, rather, the aging of one Cinderella. I dunno that I was clear enough. lol

In order of submission, not preference…

Kaydene’s Cinderella noire:

Ali’s continuation of the performance review meme from last contest:

next review is more than an
excoriation.

Neo sings the blues:

I already bowed down before neo's blues.
Other than that, I like Hyperception's first three.

Hyperception wrote:Mirth ineffable
Flares bright from steel-struck flint hearts:

Corucsate, argent!
Apotheosis of fire
For love's catharsis

Excoriation

...yeah, yeah, I know I'm supposedly biased...
But to me they feel like they stay true to the intent of Japanese haiku. As well as being beautifully written.

You try and understand them, MM?

There are some great ones, but I vote for Matrixman's ineluctable because it made me sad, and psytechnm's ineluctable, because it made me laugh.

Posted: **Wed Dec 02, 2009 1:59 am**

(Okay: I'm preternaturally late; stuff came ineluctably up.)

And the winner is ...

Spoiler

matrixman!

For his ineluctably sad haiku. Lots of votes helped this one win. (If votes didn't count, Hyperception's praeternaturally vivid haiku was my personal favorite, albeit unambergrisedly misspelled. :o) )
