And the Winner is . . .

I had a really tough time choosing the best emo-inspired haiku. I thought it would be easy to just pick a winner but I never expected such great poetic action from you guys. I spent most of the day agonizing over this decision. And I wish I could make buttons for all of you, I do, unfortunately, I’m sort of lazy. So . . . only one person will be getting the button. And that person is Steve for his haiku titled “Black”. Congratulations Steve. The competition was tight, though. Beth’s “Emo Rocks the OC” made me laugh (no laughing in emo, unless it’s ironic laughing) and eSwede’s and Sweets’ untitled masterpieces were right on the money. But I had to give it to Steve. I would explain my choice further, put my BA in Eng. Lit. to good use, extrapolating and deconstructing like a literary whiz, but again . . . lazy. So very, very lazy.

How about who ever writes the best five page essay on Steve's "Black" will win an “I Like to Extrapolate” or “Deconstruct This!” button. Anybody?
