haiku contest: 1: dorkkarl, 2: fairlaneman, 3: ddbird

#1 EvilMCT : Very artsy

I cannot grade coins
Learn, why? I only buy coins
Encapsulated.

#2 DorkKarl : Touching sentiment

she's so beautiful
I can't even touch her hair
a coin in plastic

#3 Numismaniac : What’s a contest without free flips?

I want to sell coins
Spent all my money on them
Please send me free flips

#4 Lincolncentman : The man’s persistent, must have entered 15 times.

Please don’t make me beg
I have got to have that buff.
I'm it's destiny.

#5 fairlaneman : Real poetry, gotta give it a chance

Year, nineteen sixteen
The ladies stood boldly twice.
Collectors still gaze.

#6 dpoole : took some artistic license, but somehow it works.

Loft lustrous to PCGS
Long, long, here it comes.
Poo.

#7 myqqy : solid writing, topical

Dishonest dealers,
AT, cleanings, doctored too,
It's us against them!!

#8 ddbird : it’s about dong coins.

Marty hoards dong coins
Guess he likes to ogle them
He scares the children

You can vote for yourself.

klorineforbrains · January 13, 2005 4:03AM

ddbird's was the only one that i laughed at . . . but you gotta give Lincolncentman smoe credit. I'm undecided.

Gonfunko · January 13, 2005 4:15AM

While some are quite touching and/or very well written, ddbird's was the funniest thing I've seen in a while, and I always give preference to funny things.

BigE · January 13, 2005 4:18AM

Sorry, I had to vote for the guy from Oregon, it's probably the only thing we are going to win this year

Fairlaneman got my vote, with honorable mention to dpoole and ddbird.

Fairlaneman · January 13, 2005 6:09AM

Went for dpoole. Even if it was not written correctly isn't it the truth though.

RYK · January 13, 2005 6:26AM

Hey now - this was some good haiku

Submit for grading
Coins returned in bodybags
No one hears your scream
