MN's 10th Birthday Party competition - write a Haiku about MN and win a golden ticket. To be judged by the Poet Laureate. (Not kidding!)

[JustineMumsnet]

So... it's our tenth birthday and we're having a party to celebrate on March 2nd. And seeing as we can't possibly fit you all in, we thought it would be nice to have a competition to have 10 Mumsnetters (plus partners) come along. As part of the prize we'll put you up in a London hotel, dress you in Boden (natch) and send you out to dinner at Pizza Express too. Full details here.

All you've got to do is to write a haiku (and we know how good you are at those) which sums up Mumsnet. And the 10 best will win. Simples.

And lest you think we might not pick the right winners, we've got Carol-Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, to judge them for us. So for all those of you who enjoy writing in verse, here's your chance to shine.

Good luck.

A steep learning curve
Fanjos, DCs, trolls and MiLs.
Me-time, at nine. Wine?

3 DCs asleep
DH snoozes sofa-bound.
Never google what?

Ooohm, nice one Bumperlicious!

Am I desperate
Wanting to impart my great
Parenting wisdom?

I think I should submit my haiku from the (beta) debacle

I'm a working mum
Coincidentally, I don't
like little cocks

Big cock, little cock
It's all the same to us
In our cock chat thread.

I don't know what a
bloody haiku is so i
just guessed.Do I win?

(counted the syllable and used teh average but i have no clue wtf a haiku is!)

oh wait a haiku about MN ..

...

a haiku about
mumsnet would use too many
syllables oh yes

if you reall want
love,shame tears and laughter
we are what your after

A Mumsnet a day
Keeps the PMT at bay.
As my house gets dirty.

Some cry mothers? ruin;
But I am laughing too hard
To make a judgement

Does a haiku have to be 5-7-5? I thought it didn't have to be. Am I wrong?

Help, love. surprise me
Though we've not met, advise me
laughing,ranting, friends!

Rhubarb! You have found your true vocation in life. Am roffling at this, especially that last one A Mumsnet A Day .

Friendships clear my mind
Through the darkness inside me
Anonymously

Breastmilk soap on rope?
Mooncups up your flanges?
Got to be Mumsnet!

baby's cries are harsh
online, alone, I seek help
alone, she cries more

prisms of parenthood
grammar and emoticons
mumsnet supports you

I think I can get away with prisms as one syllable? It's not two anyway...

Blimey some of these are quite deep aren't they?

Fantastic Rhubarb, mumsnet day says it all. especially the way DP views my mumsnet usage.

A post once a day
keeps the doctor away... but
twelve make us happy!
