I should have posted this here, but you can see it down on General Talk: my link to the Minnesota State Fair bacon haiku contest

Fresh bacon sizzling
Aroma waking taste buds
Doing Atkins now

Ralph

You can get bacon
made with tofu or turkey.
I'd rather die fat.

This little piggy
Went to the market pudgy
Now he's on my plate

World peace through bacon
Foes agree on what it's not
Halal or kosher

Soul of the Midwest
Minnesota's favorite dish
Lutefisk with bacon

That's the spirit, folks!

But Michael, I think lutefisk is a winter thing. And in the true spirit of the Fair, you have to be able to deep fry it.

IMO anything beats eating lutefisk/lutfisk. Even chicken feet. Lutefisk/lutfish is one item that never graced MY Christmas dinner table.

This here tomato
Sez she don't want ham, no ma'm.
She's aching for bacon

What the heck, I've seen worse verse.

Welcome morning smells
Minnesota B & B
Bakin' and bacon

(I was fixin' to enter that one, you betcha, but discovered that yesterday was the last day for entries.)

........Duh.

Wonderful link, Allen (even if it is one I pointed out to you yesterday.) Everybody has paid attention to you, Allen. Can we go back to posting our own stuff now?

Friends, friends!

I try to write my
Dissertation on Bacon
To Lamb-like bleating

Bacon and haiku
Careful selection required
Crisp and without fat

Duh backwards is Hud
Is he a Paul Newman fan?
Or just dyslexic?

waking up slowly
to the sound of falling rain,
dreaming of bacon

for breakfast I'll bring
sweet bacon, you August bring
the butter and eggs

We all try our best
But poetry alone won't
Bring home the bacon

The market is full
Of mass-consuming gluttons:
Saturated, fat

Insignificant
or in microscopic joy,
June bug marks bacon

Bacon, Allen. Bacon.

In my yukata
Bowing while buying bacon
Shop clerks all giggle

Minnesota Fair
Seduced by bacon burgers
Anne Margaret loves me

Katana sword oiled
with bacon glaze for winter,
moth-balled martial arts

The winner!

Knowledge Is Power

I don't want to read
Apopthegms, New and Old
and neither do you.

Globe Diner Special

Please try the Hamlette,
a three-egg omelette with ham.
Shakespeare or bacon?

Lazy Susan spins
a man with an umbrella--
Pope on a half shell.

Thanks, Marion.

I tried to do something like that but came up with a lesser version. Yours is good though.

I am a big pig
who'd like to eat a small pig
but don't: soy bacon.

Daddy has a dog
that we call Fancy Bacon
it does things with pigs

Break Fast Haiku
 

It’s a special treat
when bantam eggs and bacon
are poached in Pama.
