Anyway, I'm quoting this so that everyone will see. Folks, let's keep him to his promise here--it's an opportunity not to be missed!
Here's my attempt. Even if I can't win, I can at least console myself with the thought that I tried:
flushed but unflustered
and cheerfully popping back
to stay . . . undeterred

Here we go, folks. The Master Class thread is now also officially the Swirly Turd Bake-Off thread! Pile 'em on!

Steve, I don't want to deny you a taste (yuk!) of glory! I will find another judge. I will see if Charlie Trumbull, who is now editor of MH is around. I am sure he would enjoy making a selection.

P.S. I will follow Steve's lead and recommend my own book! Seriously now, the copyright is owned by Modern Haiku Press, which is a not for profit, so i don't get anything out of it except i have to take them to the post office. we usually sell them for US$20 postpaid. if anyone is actually interested, for US orders $15 to MHP, POB 68, Lincoln, IL 62656 will do it. For foreign orders, the postage would be more, so let's make it $18 in U bills. You might be interested in hearing that we are almost through our second 1000 and will have to reprint it again after the first of the year.
