Vote for Your Favorite 2014 Food Haiku

By PDX Food Dude Last Update March 9, 2018

The 2014 Haiku Contest Results!

Poem iconHere is the final outcome:

As voted by our readers –

  • One hundred choices,
    A month with thirty-one days…
    Is “Second Lunch” gauche?
  • I remember when
    one hundred good restaurants
    Portland did not have
  • Park Kitchen’s my choice
    for a dinner in the spring
    I will write for food
  • It’s been eight years, Babe
    Oregon’s winter is tough
    A date would be nice
  • Stomach’s been sated
    after those shared small plates. Yet –
    Mouth waters for more.
  • Taste buds will awake
    Gather friends with food and drink
    Shake off winter’s blues
  • (tied with above)
    Portland I love you
    Filling my belly with pride
    Quenching my parched lips
  • Locavores seeking
    Indigenous nourishment
    Rejoice at Portland
  • June – so long to wait
    now March is for my taste buds
    Savory and sweet
  • Park Kitchen springs from
    a wannabe doctor turned
    dishwashing ski bum.

    Damn, I’ve just published my own Food Haiku recently on my blog ‘The Good the Bad & The Italian’ and didn’t know about this contest. Mind you, I’m in Australia so would have found claiming the prize a bit difficult.
