Mama Versus $1000

by oh amanda on April 17, 2008

in contest,funny,random,writing

If I could write one
I could win one thousand bucks
Well, my haiku stinks.

Maybe just one more
I should at least stretch my brain
But it’s 8am!

Time to write on mom
A fitting tribute to her
If only I could!

Mama, it is true
I knew not how I loved you
until this haiku

Well, I guess it’s time
To stop planning what I’d do
with a load of cash…

Do you know how many times I counted those syllables?! If they aren’t 5-7-5, please don’t tell me. Just don’t.)

I teach haiku’s and always miscount the syllables…the kids are much better than I.

I do Haiku Friday, and Ed reads my haiku most weeks. Two weeks ago, I lost a bet on how many syllables a word was. I never bet on ANYTHING. What WAS I thinking?

I’m glad I didn’t see this contest until it was over. Too many brain cells!

Off Topic Question – I’ve decided to use http://verifiedfile.com SEO Services. Can SEO methods cause problems to my website? I mean VerifiedFile seems to appear legit – but I thought I’d ask…
