CONTEST IS COMPLETE
The winner is: "powerpuffgirl" for her Haiku:
Tony the Tiger
Drowned Count Chocula in milk
Cereal killer
-------------------------------
"Submit the best Haiku about tigers and win a Marmot Nyx 2 tent. If you don't know what a Haiku is, ask someone smarter than you. Winner will be announced May 16th. Love the Madness!" - Moosejaw
Well we get lots of emails asking us to run contests and promos but this one was so far out of the norm that we had to do it. Now where in the world their creative team comes up with these ideas beats me but have fun. Who would have thought that Japanese Lit 101 would win you a tent!
Reply to this post with your Haikus. Moosejaw will pick the winner on the 16th of May. If you don't have an account, it takes 20 seconds (just click on "login" at the top right of the screen and it will prompt you to create an account).

1. silently at night
the tiger patiently waits
for a easy meal
2. Almost endangered
mostly wanted for its fur
only the strong live
3. habitats dwindle
the tiger fights to survive
many are admired

There once was a lion that lived in the O.C.
But this young lion had a bad case of A.D.D.
Directions he couldn’t follow
So in ire he did wallow
When he didn’t win the stupid Tent.
|
Zekester
|
In the new free tent
Just when they least expect it
The tiger kills them.

The beast attacks her
velvety limbs splayed on stripes.
The rug was a score!
