    Food Haiku Nominee finalists 2008

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 20, 2018 7 Comments

    Haiku FlowersHere are the nominees, as picked by our panel of 10 judges. They are listed in no particular order. Please vote for your favorite in the poll section on the bottom of this post. We’ll announce the winner Thursday, so if you have entered, please check back! The wine festival is this weekend.

    #1

    Fungus smell of earth
    Poking gently through the soil
    Hidden gems of life

    #2

    hands and earth collide
    together we harvest fresh hope
    Sauvie Island bliss

    #3

    He cooked with passion.
    The real reason we broke up?
    Knives in dishwasher.

    #4

    Gruner veltliner
    Grapefruity friend in a glass
    At long last, summer.

    #5

    spare some change? no, but,
    want these leftovers? uh, well,
    is it like, vegan?

    #6

    inhale swirls of cab
    palate warmed, bask in the fire
    newly lit like me

    #7

    Endless winter mist
    Stems glisten on the table
    Pinot noir, my love.

      Uum… I’m partial to #6 but isn’t the second line really eight syllables? My dictionary sources think so… maybe I’m reading it wrong?

      Thanks MyNextMeal. Fixed just for you :)
      foobar, we didn’t really mean that to be taken literally, it was just to encourage folks since it was about the IWF
