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.

shucks, thanks Edgar

and bumper!

how i wish
oh how i hope
wish i could write
like Wendy Cope.

(not a haiku, i just wanted CAD to read it!)

All the worlds a page
our births, our works, and our rest
here for all to read.

Oh husband - mind the kids!
Someone on Mumsnet is wrong.
I must correct them.

As an invitee,
I would accept gracefully -
unlike JSP.

ten years of Mumsnet
boden, bumsex, mothers chat
Give us more of that!

Just words on a screen
Yet when I log off those words
are still in my head.

If only I had
a cleaner, I would get much
more Mumsnetting done.

A prop up, cup of tea,
best friend chat, 24/7 advice and hand
holding on all things 'family'

10 years, still growing-
Conception to maturity
Support at every step

Floating in nothing
The net catches me, saves me,
All I need to know.

Xenia to my right
Policywonk to my left:
Roll on summer days.

support when needed
kick up ass to help see sense
unreasonable, moi?

man, i really need
a night out without children.
shameless begging help?

Meh, Haiku Schmaiku
Snorri or Homer I bequest
Cel'brate us now

Politically
left, sartorially right,
centre of the press.

Right, that's it for me, I have to go to bed. What time is this party anyway? I'm struggling to make it past 9.30 at the moment! Good luck everyone.

I love my baby
She brings me smiles, fun, joy and
excuse to Mumsnet

Mum's net or Mums' net?
No apostrophe; Mumsnet
is for one and all.

DH, GBH,
TV, DD, STD.
What's for tea? Judge me.

font of all knowledge

MP biscuit choices

MP counting as one syllable

breast, bottle, fruitshoot
grape, codfish, school run dress
A I B U yes

I mostly just lurk
so, is there an invite for
those of us who do not post?

highly experienced confused
parents comparing notes on worrying completely normal
behaviour in family

(Previous effort was a joke, but this describes my initial experience of mumsnet, for which I am very grateful, so is my proper effort )

Baby "cluster feeds";
mum trawls mumsnet and reads, which
answers both their needs.

If words were breastmilk,
Mumsnet would,
Be bottlefed....
