emotiku

Ok, I know I'm not normal but I'd like you to enter a haiku...but written entirely with AP emoticons, you know, these guys--------->

Do not use any words in the haiku and No more than 17 emoticons...we must follow haiku rules you know!

I've no idea if this can be done, but we'll see...

? Me too!

The definitive AP guide to emoticons:

    Lots of fun, and picking a winner wasn't easy...partly because there were no words! What is wrong with you people, posting nothing but emoticons...you forgot how to write? Oh wait, I asked you too!

    Silliness aside, thanks everyone! You all entered into the contest with a fantastic spirit and with fun and lighthearted entries. As such, I wanted to thank you all with trophies, so I did. Thanks!

      You should still be able to enter, I've been a free member more than a paying one and I've always used them.

    You've gone and done it again, Yem... given us all something to bring laughter and a chance to stretch our imabinations. I've had fun reading the entries to this contest. What a brilliant idea and some great entries. Everyone who entered seems to be having fun with it.

    Haikumonk should take a gander at this contest. It might even make him rethink his haiku class assignmments

      Yeah, the 9 entries came in all pretty much all once, now it's completely dead...which means I guess there are 9 weird people like me on this site.

      I'll teach a emotiku class, maybe HaikuMonk will join, lol.
