Hey, all,

Time is so fleeting

Birds fly south, leave us behind.

MacBook Air won't care.

 

There is a Twitter haiku contest being run by Brian Clark of copyblogger. You can read the details here. 

 

http://www.copyblogger.com/twitter-writing-contest-2/#more-1149

 

Main thing - First Prize is a A MacBook Air. That's a lot of prize per syllable, if you ask me. The deadline is midnight Eastern Standard Time, Sunday, November 16, 2008.

Don't sit like a lump.
Take up pen. Take up paper.
Before leaves all fall.

So get haikuing.

 Such a messy post
Fonts and styles all crazy
Who the heck cares?

No idea why that post entry ended up looking like that. Oh well.

Fractals will always amaze me!

 If you get a "Failure to communicate" message when you follow my initial link don't despair. The message gives an option to go to the copyblogger main page. If you click on that it takes you to his blog. The haiku post is the third one down in there. I think the link may no longer work because he has added new posts since.

Or, just go to his blog directly and scroll down for the contest. Here is that link:

This link should not change.

Here is how to get your time stamp, which is required for the contest. When you post it the time stamp will automatically be applied. Then go back to your post and click on it. Under your post it will say something like "About 5 minutes ago from web". Click on the "About 5 minutes ago" part. That will bring your post up all by itself. At this point the url in your browser window is the part you need to nab and put in the coppyblogger comment form, along with your haiku. Good luck, all.

By the way, I'm jmstro on Twitter, if anyone wants to "follow me". If you follow me, I'll follow you. I wonder. Is that sort of like the blind leading the blind? :)
