Hello.

Having rofled our way through your Bradley-Wiggins-inspired poetry thread, we thought we'd start the Official Mumsnet Olympics Haiku Thread.

Please do come and post your best haikus about the Games, as and when inspiration strikes.

We may well have a prize or two for the best offerings....

Splash, sprint, score, cycle,
Olympics two thousand twelve
Shines like medals bright

Gold, silver, bronze discs
Prized rewards for those who strive
To keep dreams alive

Strength, grace, style, pace, grit
roar, cheer, clap, some win, some lose
all brave as heroes

(guess who's procrastinating about the washing up this morning??? :))
