Haiku Contest: We Have a Winner!


I tallied the final votes in the DARK SHADOWS HAIKU CONTEST this morning, and we had a pretty clear winner. With 73 "Likes" on our Facebook page, the poem you see above was the most popular submission.

Thanks to all of you who took part in this contest. I enjoyed reading the entries, and they were a pretty popular feature with our readers over at Facebook during the last three months, too. Curiously, there were a handful of poems that received NO votes, which meant the people who submitted them didn't even vote for their own entries. I suspect more than a few haiku posts were handicapped by Facebook's mindless changes to how updates appear in newsfeeds. Some of them likely went unseen by casual readers.

If you'd like to continue to submit haiku poems for use here and at Facebook, please do. And don't forget to enter for your chance to win a copy of the 2012 DARK SHADOWS movie on Blu Ray, which ends later this week.

Haiku Contest Update



 Since June 25, The Collinsport Historical Society has been hosting a Dark Shadows-themed haiku contest, and we've received a lot of entries during the last few weeks. Pictured above are the top three entries so far, as voted on by the readers at The Collinsport Historical Society's Facebook page. Strangely, there are a few haiku entries that have not received any votes, which means the people who have submitted them have not voted on their own poems ...

But the contest is far from over. Voting ends on Sept. 23, with the contest winner to be announced on this site a few days later. There's still plenty of time to enter. Just e-mail me your three-line haiku to [email protected], and click HERE for the full contest details (including a complete breakdown of the prizes.)
