(another camera phone photo… Picnick on Flickr is pretty great, eh?)
What’s even better: The lovely Shelah at Destroyed by Design ALSO sent me something to raffle off here! Are you excited? You should be!
Imagine THIS little guy, but pink with little white polka dots:
Destroyed by Design on EtsyEverybody will be amazed by the pink polka-dot elephant in the room!
So here’s the scoop: I want you to write a haiku to a mythical creature – whether it’s the pink elephants you see after too much absinthe, Harvey, unicorns, or whatever. The syllabic format is 5-7-5, and somewhere in there you have to tell me what mythical creature you’re writing about. We will then sit down, read all the haiku and pick the cream of the crop – I’ll send that person a tiny, pink, acrylic elephant.
Simply toss your haiku in the comments or email them to birdie (at) thedemoiselles(dot)com. I’ll leave the contest open for two weeks. GO! GO! GO!
If a pink elephant isn’t quite your thing, go to Destroyed by Design’s Etsy shop and find yourself something equally amazing.
Nessie my dearest
Flippers aflutter, gentle
You float the lagoon
I love it! I wrote my haiku about the necklace in question:
Ele-garlic-raffe
The mystic culinary
animal of love
xox!
elegant giraffe
hooping gracefully in sky
your neck is perfect
Elephants are my daughter’s favorite animal so I have to try for this. Sea monsters are my favorite mythical creatures (so mysterious!) so I penned this Haiku for you about the Makara …
Mighty Makara
Through heavenly sweet waters
Stealthily gliding
Should I wed Bigfoot,
Would the preacher pronounce us
Bigfeet? Or Bigfoots?
Should I wed Bigfoot,
Would the preacher pronounce us
Bigfeet? Or Bigfoots?
A pink elephant
I see after the party
I must stop drinking
Licorice Delight
Emerald Haze Drunk Stupor
Hypnotic Fee Verte
Happy is a horse
Unicorn, actually
Prancing on Rainbows
