Yes, I can see where
posting twenty hours late
would be distracting.

There are good-faith jokes.
Also there's nasty sarcasm.
Both live in this thread.

Seriously (and no longer directed entirely at pawnhandler), what's the point of being skeptical about the eventual size of this competition, and what does the eventual size have to do with whether or not one enters?

sarcasm, yes

intended to be nasty, no

merely poetic, and trying to get the haiku right

My apologies for being defensive, then 🙂.

But people! Do not write poems in here! Write them all over my inbox!

Okay I will now proceed to be straight with you!

There are THREE SPECTACULAR ENTRIEEZ HERETOFORE SUBMITTED! Seriously, they are very good and the rest of you should submit things to the VERSE COMPETITION 2009 so as to make a LUSTFUL LUSTROUS POEME ANTHOLOGIE worthy of the PRIZES* I shall bestow upon the eventual winnerZ!

*More like SURprizes!

EDIT One of the entrants was confused, so perhaps I was not clear. The ENTREEZ come to me for anonymity. I will post them on 1 JANUARY without the names of their authors, and we shall vote, as in previous verse competitions.

an unusual interpretation of a "Coal" Porter song?
