    Food Haiku Winner 2007

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 20, 2018 3 Comments

    The results are in for our 2007 food haiku contest

    Poem iconThe finalists are listed below. The Winner received 27% of the votes. All of the others were popular, and ran a close race! Here is the winning haiku –

    airy is the crumb
    earthy, this crust of Pearl
    heavenly, the smell

    Please contact us about your gift certificate to Park Kitchen!

    And here are the finalists per the judges. Some of the entries were eliminated because they didn’t even come close to the proper meter or 5-7-5.

     

    sound of meat browning
    feel of knife through vegetable:
    a true cook’s reward

    at last, no jacket
    instead, i grab sunglasses
    soon come the favas

    Monday morning blues
    gladly pay you Tuesday for
    Banana sundae

    I’ve swooned over meat
    a burger like no other
    a vegan no more

    Thanks to everyone who took time to enter!

      3-5-2-4-1?

      and you are not Kathleen Harris.
      unless…

      Well crap. Now my secret is out. Yes, I am Kathleen Harris.

      Actually…. seems to be a bug with the voting module when it is used in a post. What it is doing is putting them in order of votes, which it shouldn’t do until after you have voted.

      I think that a re-vote would be warranted once you get the problem resolved. I know my vote went to the wrong ‘ku…
