New month = new poetry contest!
You can write a poem about lemons, 55 cents, a large white bowl, June... or anything else for that matter! Since it's an art form it really has no limits! Great! I know you will all excel at this. I foresee that the prize for the best poem will be some fresh-squeezed lemonade. (Sugar not included.)

Lazy sunny Summer day,
Eating luscious lemons on
My purple-painted porch.
Oh, so super-sour, but
Mmm, so sickly sweet.
Someday I'll eat 55 of them.
Where's my lemonade?
All righty... *crack knuckles, then recoils in disgust* (I hate it when people crack their knuckles... but that's off-topic.)
Here it goes:
*My Lemon Haiku*
Lemons are so sour.
But they're sweet in lemonade.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool!
Okay, that last line was a stretch.
Erin, please.
If you're not Japanese, you have not right to be writing Haiku.
Lame, lame, lame, lame, lame!!
Mal, mal, mal, mal, malissimo!!
Hmmm...
Don't feel like it right now. Perhaps at a later date when I don't feel like *biipity biip biip* and then some.
Agh.

A Lemon Poem not Meant to Be Taken Personally
By Me
Sour lemons in a boring bowl
Makes me think of your wicked soul.
*self-satisfied chuckle*
Hiaku Hannah -
Lemons remind me
of a mother singing songs
over the Christ Child.
(Dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, who is symbolized by lemons in Christian art.)
*Haiku
*Ahem*:
Juicy lemons in bowl of white:
A sour taste, a pretty sight.
Half a buck for yellow fruit
I hold in very high repute.
Eat them in the month of June,
Mix with sugar, stir with spoon.
*bow*
: I thought of the final verse:
...Turn them into lemonade,
serve it to your lady's maid!
Since we're haikuing it up around here:
Perkins wins. No doubt.
What wit, wisdom, and wonder!!
I am so in awe.
Nice colors. Keep up the good work. thnx!

As the other self-proclaimed Haiku "expert" on this site, I object to Perkins' poetry being classified as "haiku". However, I do agree that it is one of the better poems in this contest thus far! Congrats, Perkins. Very nice.
Han, Perkins' poem wasn't a haiku. Paddy's comment is actually a haiku about Perkins' poem. Count the syllables. It will fall pat as I told you. (Hm, I'll have to write a poem too.)
Ha ha ha ha ha!
I did not realize that.
I apologize.

I think it was good. I love poetry!
