While we aren’t hearing as much jingle in our pockets as we did a year ago, we wanted to stay upbeat about the holiday season this week when we asked entrants to The Denver Post $25 Haiku Contest to write about “jingle.” John Owens of Evergreen was feeling it when he wrote:

Polish the boots, press the suit
Jingle all the way

If it all makes you feel like you’ve got something to say in a 5-7-5 poetry form, enter a one-stanza haiku at lifestyle@denverpost.com or file it at . Don’t forget to include your name and hometown. Our favorite wins a $25 gift certificate to the Tattered Cover Book Store.
This week’s topic is: cheer.
The deadline is midnight Thursday. Good luck, and start writing.
