Weddingbee Haiku Contest

May 24th, 2007 @ 3:14 pm by Contests

Let’s wax poetic, shall we? We’re giving away another t-shirt, but we’re gonna make you work for this one just a little bit. The challenge: write a haiku about Weddingbee!

In case you forgot, a haiku is a seventeen-syllable poem divided into three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. For example:

Every day I check
To see what DIY stuff
The bees are up to

(Granted, “every” in this case is a bit squished together. But you get the idea.)

Best haiku wins a t-shirt. Multiple entries are welcome! Contest ends Friday 3 pm EST. Good luck, poets!

When writing haiku
Is “to bee or not to bee”
Too much of a pun?

Reading weddingbee
it preserves my sanity
and is fun to boot

A bond of friendship
and community among
clever brides to be

keeps us sweet and calm
less vinegar, more honey,
strong and capable!

Studying for a
final exam- what do you
mean, no weddingbee?

Alas, I must at
least see if there are new posts-
no, shut the laptop!

Must write my paper
and once I am done, I can
gaily read the buzz.

(Cheesy Petrarchan sonnet)

I type the web address into my screen,
And eagerly await the latest post.
Such projects, gowns, and plans I’d never seen,
I can’t decide which one I love the most.

But better still than ribbons, ink, and lace,
Are all the brides that we have come to know;
For each can bring a smile to my face,
Through stories, jokes, and banter to and fro.

So thank you, all you girls on Weddingbee,
I’m glad we’re part of this community!
