Haiku Winner!
The CWC has enjoyed each Hallowe’en haiku readers sent in. There can’t be too many haiku, can there? More Haiku, Less Novels! We needed to pick a winner though and we’ve settled on:
Bloody entrails lay
On the garden path today
No candy for you
by Lisa Jean
Lisa Jean’s entry creeped us out in a delightful way!
Well, there’s no candy for you either, Lisa Jean, but there is a hand-knit hat courtesy of CWC’er Melissa Bell, knitter extraordinaire. Email us your snail mail address- we can’t fit the toque into the fax machine. Our email is cwcdrew@yahoo.ca (That’s “yahoo.CA,” beloved American readers, not “yahoo.com”; Canada has it’s own little ways. On Hallowe’en for example, Canadians are required by law to dress as beavers.)
A close second, but no exploding cigar, is:
finger by finger
now comes the winter season
a chill up the back
by Sharon Hurlbut
Sharon’s entry chilled us with its simple elegance. If we had a second prize, we’d be shipping it off right now!
Penultimately, we would like to honourably mention: Konoko, kmarie for “Fears”, Dean and Martin Heavisides. Your haiku entries stood out among a great crop!
And lastly, to all our entrants, our best spooky wishes are floating your way for a happy Hallowe’en!

Congrats, Lisa, and thanks to all who entered.
Those were great! I would've sucked, so I didn't enter.
Congrats, winners, and may warm heads prevail (Gawd, I don't want winter to come).
Killer stuff! My Ninja needles of crazy super lucky death are poised to knit up a wonder hat of terrific!
Congratulations to Lisa!! Those bloody entrails are truly creepy. Great haiku, everyone!
Thank you all! I was late checking back here and had no idea I won until today, November 10th. But now that it is getting cold here in WI, I will make great use of that hat.
