Heart Haiku Winners!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our humongous heart haiku contest, we were blown away by the collective rhyming talent of our fine readers! You are all haiku masters and selecting a winner was almost impossible so we selected first place, second place, third plus an honorable mention. First place goes to Miss Keri S, who wins the humongous heart -- congrats, Miss Keri! Lacey claims the second prize -- a Spill Your Guts journal and I Heart Guts stationery set, both published by Chronicle Books -- for busting out "Arteriosclerosis" as her seven-syllable line. Third place goes to Jane, who gets to pick five organ lapel pins of her choice, and an honorable mention goes to Katherine, who noted that heartburn doesn't just come from burgers. The winning poems are below, thank you all so much for participating!
FIRST PLACE: Miss Keri S.
organ made of blood
elastic dreams and tissue
not the Kleenex kind
SECOND PLACE: Lacey
Butter is so good
Arteriosclerosis
Exercise I should
THIRD PLACE: Jane
you flutter and flop
but don’t ever stop, that’s good
slimy, shiny heart
HONORABLE MENTION: Katherine
My heart aches today
Is is that cute guy I met
Or indigestion?
