oh, snap ya'll I just won!

Guess what, I won a Haiku Monday! From this dude's blog! What a surprise (or total accident). I need a freaking trophy. One that would look like this: 

As I left the last of my talent on squeezing out one awesome haiku (as deemed by others) and few crap ones (as deemed by me, because who wants to hear about chicken feet) I shall suck down some inspiration celebrate with a much needed Margarita. As the chosen one, it falls to me to chose the next topic and judge for the upcoming week. What a responsibility...
Holy cocktail onion Batman! I just thought of a theme for next week. 




Happy Hour ya'll! Anyone with a  libation/relaxation/free cover charge/cocktail related haiku will be welcome. So I hear the rules are as follows: 
Write a haiku, leave it in the comments. 5-7-5 syllable format. Utterly awesome if you use kigo and kiru like a real badass haiku writer.
Write as many as you'd like and choose 2 you think are great enough to capture the hearts and attention of myself (and probably my parents too). 
Include a link to your blog with visuals if you'd like, that would please me but not necessary.
You have until Monday 9/10 at 4 (or around there) in the afternoon Pacific time. 

This was quite helpful for the rules and basics of haiku writing.

This is my first time so I might overlook things like counting syllables and all that but I'll totally do my best. Thanks again every one who gives it a try and for giving me a chance to do this. And go!

  5. Greetings Deny,

    As you will see when you host, your theme takes on a life of its own once thrown to this crowd. My first offering may demonstrate, Grins already took off in an unexpected direction with that visual-yeek!. This one does speak to where your invitation refers to /relaxation/ but is perhaps a long way off from what you thought you said. Heh, heh.

    Birder’s Happy Hour”

    Dawn’s peaceful graying
    coaxes forth trills that then swell…
    spring cacophony.

    Visual (and a little learning) at http://serendipitouswildmoments.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/birders-happy-hour/

    And my second for the week…obviously I don’t hang out in bars much.

    High Altitude Happy Hour

    High mountain sunset,
    fizzy wine with grouseberries…
    it gets no better!

    Visual at http://serendipitouswildmoments.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/high-altitude-happy-hour/

    Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a flood early, they usually pour in faster on the official Haiku Monday. (Most of the time we have a midnight PDT deadline to accommodate the different time zones everyone plays from.)

    Hope you have fun with this. Judging as host can be tough. Good luck all.

    1. You are so right. Midnight is the new deadline because I'm an idiot and usually the only people in my own time zone (my dad and sister) read my blog. Hooray to extending deadlines!

    Good luck everyone!

  8. Good afternoon Deny,

    Congratulations on your win! Grins is right, you should get your badge and post it. It's an honor well earned.

    I have two to start:

    A smooth summer ale
    Hits the spot. Your companion.
    Makes the hour happy.

    The hour matters not
    Sun's over the yardarm
    Somewhere in the world

    1. oh, I love it when I learn new words (yes, I totally had to look up yardarm) Let's hope I can use it in Scrabble. And that first haiku really does hit the spot!

  9. If you go to Grin's blog and right click on the gold haiku winner picture, you should get the choice to "save as". You can then save it to your hard drive in the location of your choice. From there, you should be able to post it here - if you want the "offical" trophy.

  10. In place of visual, I have rhyme and wordplay. :)

    Happy hour is when
    Downing to get high; and then
    Rise to low again.

  25. Die Girls haben höhe Ansprüche, wollen Herren, die
    gut aussehen und sehr reich sind, um ihre Erwartungen zu befriedigen.

    Mann ist Single oder in einer langweiligen Partnerschaft
    ohne Sex. Die meisten Camgirls und Kerl legen es schließlich darauf an und buhlen nur deshalb, weil sie sich noch weitere geile Erlebnis davon versprechen.
