1. Haiku, 5 syllables in first verse, seven syllables in second verse and last verse is 5 syllables.
2. Enter your Haiku in the comment section
3. All Haikus will be put in hat and drawn out by Tess (random win)
4. I will post all the Haikus in a future blog (please give me your name, First name minimum)
5. Contest end on December 17 at 6:00 p.m.
6. Look below for the Scottie photo for your Haiku
7. You can enter as many times as you want, but you only get one name in the hat.
8. I will post the winner in a future blog and you must contact me in three days or it goes to second pick.
9. Anyone can enter but North America folks names will be drawn, due to postage rates.
10. If you win, you should try to continue this contest by having a contest of your own.





Prize: "Sheepdogs At Work by Tony Iley. This is an original 1978, by Dalesman Books, Clapham, Yorks.
The book is from my private library collection. It is an out of print, hard to find book. I can ship to North America. If you are from the outside of North America, you can enter your Haiku but shipping is to prohibitive for me to ship outside of North America. North America is US and Canada.

    gibbous golden shine
    blackness and a curving horn

    Scottie, oh Scottie,
    why pink ribbon on your head?
    Annoyance abounds.

    Scottie never meant
    to become laughing stock of
    DeltaBluez Haiku.

    Would rather be held
    in place by DeltaBluez Tess
    than playing dress up.

    lol plenty
    this can not be the end y'all
    There's too much to say

    I couldn't resist
    and sorrow of all sorrows
    I could continue

    Take a bow and leave.
    My Haiku becomes silly.
    Point taken and more.

    All I want is sleep
    Not a border collie creep
    The job is over

    Wool plays in the breeze
    It flirts beyond all the trees
    Black face so divine

    Rugged, rough and wild
    Delightful, and full of style
    The bow on my head
