Off to school again in a week, so for my 100th contest I would love to read lots of haiku. It will make me smile when I have to leave the quiet of summer and return to the classroom.

A contest not a workshop!

.
Traditional or modern haiku wanted!

Rules:
1. You may have up to 3 haiku
2. No graphics
3. No adult content of StIcKy CaPs
4. Lots of HM's, I upped the ante on trophies.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 22, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 2000, Silver: 1500, Bronze: 1000, Honorable mention: 21 people
- Final notes: I was overwhelmed with so many beautiful haiku, thank you so much. They all made me smile, and happy to return to the classroom with the kids next week. Without all you lovely people, I would never know the beauty of my favorite form. And a loving thank you to Arkbear, my dear friend.
