THE HAIKU MICRO-CONTEST WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN!!

Thank you to all the excellent haiku entries… but as you all knew, there could be only one winner!  

Congratulations to ramenbow.  I am a sucker for foreign languages, and ramenbow just so happened to write a haiku IN JAPANESE.  

Here are all the versions of the haiku:

泣き弱る
黒虫を弓
花は偽

————————————-

なきよわる
くろむしをゆみ
はなわにせ

——————————————

nakiyowaru
kuromushi o yumi
hana wa nise

——————————-

Wilted cry fading
The black beetle bows its head
The flowers are fake!

——————————-

Enjoy your prize, ramenbow: bragging rights, and a video of me attempting the proper Japanese inflection……. with a lightsaber.
