A haiku for you

by Alanna Kaufman, Posted Apr 21st 2008 @ 2:28PM

I love to read Is My Blog Burning? so that I can stay updated on all of the contests circulating around the blogosphere. I'm usually shy about participating (though I did enter a cupcake contest just once), but I think it's great when people create dishes and posts for the sake of the blogging community, and I love to see the results. Anyway, Is My Blog Burning? alerted me today to a contest called Haiku That Blog, in which contestants write a haiku poem about a particular blog and one lucky winner receives a fabulous prize. The blog for the contest is Lunch Bucket Bento, which I'd never seen before, but it looks adorable.

The contest got me thinking, however, about haiku for Slashfood and food blogging in general. I wrote three. My favorite is this one (note: for an English major, I was never very good at writing poetry):

Read it for Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner, and in between
Slashfood – keeps me fed

Here are the others:

Just finished my lunch
Click Slashfood on the Reader
Head back to the fridge

Serves me food photos
Topped with news, comments I love
Slashfoodies unite

All I'm saying is that if you want to write one about us too, that would not be discouraged!

Your computer crashed
It must have cost you plenty
I weep for you not

Now if I could just be that clever about Slashfood ...
