Well, guess this is it. Sometimes, simply to begin... is also to end.
Despite my sad pleas and the entry extension, nothing much has changed. / Of the five or six who signed up to try haiku, only two posted!
Sad as it makes me, I guess this means that Week One is... the only week. / Our two contestants both wrote on their Biggest Day: walking up the aisle.
ENTRY #1
Do I say "I do"?
Or stop to think this all through
one very last time?
Twenty years later,
in retrospect: 'I do' was
the perfect answer.
ENTRY #2
Arms held interlocked,
he stumbled slightly, and I
gripped ever tighter.
The crisp white runner
and pink petals underfoot -
The aisle seemed so long!
Love strengthened him, and
my father straightened his stride.
Slowly, we marched on.
Vote on one of these. Deadline to vote: Tuesday night, 8pm Eastern. / The LJHI winner in this light'ning round shall be decided!
Poll Pick out a victor, s/he shall be named Haiku King, or Queen, or whate'er.
