Here goes nothing, (pardon the edit, I realized the first one had been 6-7-6)

Serious

Fiery filly flies
Furiously flashing feet
Forget first, fine foes

Humorous

Jockey in lite blue
Whips horse madly down the stretch
He's going post-al

Humerous

"MY DAY"

Cold beer in my hand
Losing ticket in the trash
I love the races

Mike Eaton · Post by **Mike Eaton** » 16 years ago

Clouds are rolling in
Demo loves all the rain clouds
He likes the girls too

non hummerous

humorous

Sleepless nights abound
Horses! Faires! Pixie Dust!
Drool hits my keyboard

The Cup is over
The ponies all went back home
Time for the new year!
(serious... ish)

Cha-ching! The cash flows!
Millions and millions get spent!
Auction was tonight??
(humorous)

Humorous

Click clack click clack, flop!
What happened to the jockey?
Fell off in the slop

Faith Powers · Post by **Faith Powers** » 16 years ago

Thrill

Wind blows through my mane
Galloping around I go
Finish line ahead

serious

So I guess the computer re-set again, since the 2 I submitted yesterday morning aren't on here. I'll try again.

Research perfect stud
Calamity strikes again
Infertility!

and my real entry for the competition in the serious category:

Passing of the torch
Another generation
Loads into the gate

Here's a couple more

non-humorous

It's a two horse race
At the line, photo finish
Yes! Won by a nose

and

Three years of hard work
Pointing for the derby to
Bring the roses home

Great entries to date, everyone! Everyone else, come join in!

To date, I find 15 entries (minimum of 18 prizes -- 9 in each category):
2 unspecified -- you need to tell me humorous or non-humorous
4 non-humorous
4 humorous
5 people who posted both a humorous and non-humorous poem. I loved reading them
all and thanks for posting them. But you will need to specify your final entry
before the contest ends.

Contest will run through Wednesday. Thursday morning, not too early, I'll compile the final list for the judges. I expect results will be in sometime over the weekend.

Non Humerous

Generous people
With a love for horse racing
All here to have fun

Chris Briggs · Post by **Chris Briggs** » 16 years ago

Non Humerous

Entries are open
The SIM will be put to test
Each hopes theirs is best

I wasn't going to put this up till after entries opened, but I had to do it now so I didn't forget.

Jeb, these are always fun, and we have some fine haikuists!

(Chuck, yours described every day at the track for me!)

Humorous:

Drunken patrons lay,
Tickets flutter in the air,
I love the infield.

Reminder: Contest ends tomorrow midmorning.

I'm happy to see some more (excellent) haikus being entered. Get your entries in if you haven't already.

If you have more than one haiku posted, please tell me which you want entered. If I don't hear from you I'll take whichever haiku is listed last as your entry into the contest.

Excellent job by all!
