*See the end of this post for the winning entry!*
Your entries were great;
Spent many hours laughing
And now my side hurts.
(Though lots of you girls
Made me think and reflect, too,
And for that I'm blessed.)
Almost forgot to
Feed my family; couldn't stop
With the dang haikus.
But I had to pick;
Five finalists were what I
Aimed for. It was hard.
Okay, I really have to stop that now. (Although I think now we see why I host haiku contests but never win them.)
Your entries were so great I got all twisted up trying to whittle those down into five, but my best efforts are listed below (I'm resisting the urge to say that you're all winners in my book. But if I were going to say that, which I'm not, this is where I would be saying it.)
A long list awaits.
More than water freezes here-
Fear of failure haunts.

Treasure fleeting hours
While little feet run the halls.
Toss the to-do list.

Ponder this, O Self:
This year, be not resolute--
The desserts beckon.

Cynics don't resolve
I used to be one yet now
God's grace equals change
--by Kelly of Musings
Since I tend to fail
Resolutions, this year I
Plan to GAIN five pounds!
