Haiku competition - results

On November 6th, I offered up a haiku contest. The winner is Rebecca Hawkes with the following haiku:

I spend my weekend
worrying about
what weekends are for

Honourable mention goes to Marie-Claude Plourde, who submitted an impressive pangrammatic, which uses all the letters of the English language in one haiku (harder than you might think):

 Just a box for bed
News---make spells, copy letters
Freezing, she quivers

Another honourable mention goes to Natasha Dennerstein, with the single best line from all submissions - the middle line of this haiku:

Honey please don’t stay;
you smell so of yesterday; 
I forget you well.

So, I will get in touch with Rebecca, and send her Stephen Fry’s “The Ode Less Travelled”. Congrats!

 All entries, roughly in the order they arrived:

Rick Morrow:
So, too, trees desire—
leaves unfold to ground in whispers.

Hernan Blejer:
Nanowrimo match
every eleventh month
till the mind grows too old.

dedicated to Cape Reinga:

Foam-burnt and sun-washed,
Above rock and sea
The tree slowly erodes.

Marie Claude Plourde
A winter wind blows
Seasons keep coming around
Scarcity of time

Just a box for bed
News---make spells, copy letters
Freezing, she quivers
(A pangrammatic haiku. - all letters of the English language)

Rebecca Hawkes:
your expectations
are most unreasonable
whatever they are

I spend my weekend
worrying about
what weekends are for

Thom Botterill:
Unowned ode traveled
The lone literary sea
Verdant words for me

Santa claus is com
Haiku is corrupting me
Ho ho ho

pork is bacon
but not all bacon is pork
say no to tofo fakeon 

Natasha Dennerstein:
Honey please don’t stay;
you smell so of yesterday; 
I forget you well.

Coconut nightclub;
smooth moves to Hawaiian grooves:
frangipanis fall.

Fry's chocolate was, 
in Moab's washpot recurring, 
bittersweet goodness.

Laurel Jane May
I killed a dog yesterday
But where were you then?
You cried as I saved your life
