Getting your player ready...
There were almost as many haiku paying tribute to fireworks as there are sparks in a sparkler this week. The one that really popped for us in The Denver Post’s $25 Haiku contest came from Kathleen Kaufmann of Aurora:
Night sky all aglow
Waterfall raining colors
Take my breath away.
You can read the rest of the entries by the light of a Roman candle at denver
. And if they make you feel like you’ve got something to say in 5-7-5 poetry form, enter a one-stanza haiku at lifestyle@denverpost.com or file it at. Our favorite wins a gift certificate to the Tattered Cover Book Store.
This week’s topic: Barbecue.
The deadline is midnight Thursday. Good luck, and start writing.
