Happy Dead Bear Says Holiday Haiku Contest!
Hey peeps, this year Electro^Plankton is teaming up with Attus Apparel to give away one of their awesome polo tees. All you have to do is comment with your best Holiday Haiku. As a refresher, Haiku's follow a 5,7,5 syllable pattern.
Poems must be original and fall within the winter holiday theme. Contest runs thru the weekend and we'll pick a winner Monday. Make sure you leave an email addy. To get you started, I'll write the first one.
Christmas oh Christmas,
Just 11 days away,
Better start shopping!
UPDATE: We have a winner. Congrats to Metaleaf!

If the Grinch stole it,
Then why wasn't he punished?
Candy cane beating!

Had the cookies out,
Waiting for Santa to come,
Long wait, ate them all.

Better for Christmas,
When it was the thought that counts.
Times are a-changing.

Rudolph’s nose was red
Shiny bright bursts through the fog
Helped Santa save the holiday

You know, I honestly didn't intend to write you an entire weird balladic haiku cycle when I started out. Here it is regardless:
Snow falls from the sky.
My family waits for me
Traffic stays in place.
My car heating hums
What a gentle, quiet noise
Makes me daydream so.
It's frigid these days.
I'd rather be in Maui.
Land of pineapples.
My shopping's not done
So here I am in the snow.
To the mall I go.
Reasons are rare here -
Sometimes Christmas means nothing
Hollow like a drum.
Incessant music
Drives me a little batty.
Malls - please, please stop it.
Hunting for a gift
I spot it among the aisles
Rush in for the kill.
Celebrant hunter
Back to the car in triumph
Victory is sweet.
Light from a window
Shut the door and up the drive
Home again at last.
My family's here -
More important than the gifts
Love is the reason.

Oh winter winter,
how I really love to ski,
where is all the snow?

Frosty made of snow,
throw hot ass water on him,
oops! Frosty's melting.

The light is fading
Dark winter evenings loom
Festive lights give cheer

I hope it's not too late to enter. Here's mine.
Stuck in this snow storm,
Shy town never seemed so cold.
Christmas is coming.
