The Giver Haiku Contest has finished and Andrew Bell has scrutinized all the doom and gloom entries. Here are his results starting with the winner, Hellopike,on through to his choice for honorable mention. For his efforts, Hellopike walks away with a Gangrene Giver vinyl figure! Thank you to all who entered! And now, here are the results and Andrew’s comments.
The winner is…. Hellopike!
enjoy the dumplings,
they will be the last you eat,
I poisoned the sauce.
Andrew: I like this one, it is evil, right to the point AND contains
dumplings, doom and perhaps the posion is a disease. Bravo.
Second place goes to Boultini
Kidnapped by Dumpling,
A gravy grave awaits me.
Curse my beefy tomb.
Andrew: Bumped up on bonus points for the term “beefy tomb”
And insectoman has the dubious honor of third place with his entry:
Dumpling on the floor
Five second rule is safety
You thought very wrong
Andrew: I think i can find it in my heart to send you a little prize as
well! It’s time that everyone knew that five second rule is bull.
Runner up status is bestowed upon Delial with a two-parter
“Malignant dumpling,”
said obese verdant demon,
“to kill enemies.”
I wish I had not
taken the offered morsel
from putrescent hands.
Honorable Mention goes to quahogclam’s “My ode to Joe’s Shanghai’s Soup
Dumplings…”
Waiting in shadows
Prey comes in pork and crab soup
Shanghai Joe I stalk
The soup makes me wet
Literally, balls splash down
Spoon cannot contain
