Challenge 6 Haiku results
Haiku voting results are under the cut!
Thanks to everyone who participated and voted.
It was supposed to be 40 points for first place, 30 for second, 20 for third, I believe. Well all the first place winners got the same number of votes and were one point clear above the rest in their category, and all the second place winners were a tie. The rest of the entries were all then tied or one point off. So I'm going give all the remaining entries a bonus 12 points instead of awarding third place (because otherwise we'd have 2, 3 or 4 third places in the various categories and that just seems silly)
BTW, *all* the entries got votes.
First Place
Pushing Daisies
(A2 by mikomichan, Team Pie Hole)
the hum of her bees
drown out the few regrets of
a life left behind
Dead Like Me
(B7 by bella_farfalla, Team Wonderfalls)
Just a normal day
Struck by a falling toilet
What a way to die
Wonderfalls
(C2 by hobbitofkobol, Team Wonderfalls)
She can’t help thinking,
‘This is such a bad idea.’
He opens the door.
And then she forgets,
That he’s her best friend’s brother.
It’s just a detail.
Second Place (All Joint Seconds)
Pushing Daisies
(A3 by hobbitofkobol, Team Wonderfalls)
‘I’m alive’, she says.
And for Lily and Vivian,
Life begins again.
(A6 by kissingdaylight, Team Wonderfalls)
Only ten-years-old,
Ned couldn't know this one kiss
Would change his whole life
Dead Like Me
(B1 by mikomichan, Team Pie Hole)
the blue screen of death
so Death is stalking me now?
fucking computers
(B7 by kissingdaylight, Team Wonderfalls)
Gravelings on the prowl
Means a busy day for George
Reaping souls ain't fun
Wonderfalls
(C1 by mikomichan, Team Pie Hole)
"bring him peace" it said
stupid lion never learns
to keep its mouth shut
(C3 by meridian_rose, no team)
"Perfectly normal"
It's anything but, Jaye thought
A talking monkey
