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.

The perennial
conundrums of parenthood
solved by Mumsnetters.

or

Problems come and go
but the wisdom of Mumsnet
is transcendental.

oh mii that is much btter

i dont get it tbh
i am NOt Entering

Judge and be judged but
log off a better person,
friend, spouse and parent.

Competition Prize
Is always in London - Why?
You will have complaints.

Long threads or short threads;
Spread your hard won wisdom and
Gain new knowledge here

Wise women swap tales
over internet waves and
sometimes there are blokes.

Carol Ann, I am
Coming to see you in March -
Will slip you a five

10 years of comfort and strength
mumset will have many more
to help us flourish and grow wise

novice on mumsnet
posting with gay abandon
then learn - write and run

Cilla you are good.
I am jealous and I think
I will give up now.

Ten autumns of posts -
Now is old MotherofOne
Justly rewarded?

Mumsnetters, always
on hand for blow job tips and
a sponge recipe

If you have not read
The dead sleekit cavy thread,
You don?t know Mumsnet

My brief foray into poetry,

Trying to concieve
with no idea what to do
With Mumnets I do

or

Children a blessing
in disguise, fortuantly
on Mumsnet I hide

The bat springeth forth
From miscellaneous threads
Ever a hero

Oi! Carol Ann. I
could write a poem for the
Queen. If she asked me.

Carol Ann Duffy
I teach your poems joyfully
Do I win a prize?

roffle at bumper's
Mumsnet - never fails to mix
banal and anal...

Are you really going to make Carol Ann Duffy wade through THOUSANDS OF haiku? There will be THOUSANDS!

Mumsnet, I like it
Is it unreasonable?

(or

"wink" emoticon

if you need actual words )

Famous on Mumsnet
is not necessarily
a very good thing.

Take Shehazerade Goldsmith
worried about the questions
asked by vipers nest.

and Prime Minister
Gordon Brown and biscuitgate
Media frenzy.

But it's not all bad
Chat is terribly funny
when it want's to be.

So, heed my warning
stay away when full moon's out
or don a hard hat.

Calling all Wankers!
You are needed here forthwith
But must not Show Off!

But - are you allowed one haiku-versed long thing? It must just be the 17 syllables, right?

Ten springs on Mumsnet
and still I've never won a
damn competition.
