100 followers competition..........!

By way of celebrating acquiring my 100th follower, here is a thought-provoking competition, open to all Tales from a Toymaker followers.

I've been playing around with haiku poems lately, which are great fun, so all you have to do is compose a haiku and leave it as a comment.

No specific theme.... it can be about anything - blogging, miniatures, the weather.......whatever you like.

For non-haiku enthusiasts, the haiku format consists of just three lines.

first line, 5 syllables
second line, 7 syllables
third line, 5 syllables

For example,

Wonderful small dog,
chrysanthemum head of fur.
Daily you make me smile.

Simple eh? Go on......have a go.

I'll put all haiku-composer's names in a hat and draw the winner at random on 30th September.

And the prize....?

    'Cute girl in purple

    What a pretty smile!'

    Sandra, I'll try but remember English is not my mother language and I'm not sure how to divide the syllables.Please, have mercy

    Fairy mini child
    by magic hands created
    come to my home

    And that's all I can do :o(((
    Thank you for the chance of winning one of your beautiful dolls. Rosanna

    A purple monster!
    A purple monster, you said?
    Yes, purple monster.

    This haiku is in no way related to your doll. Yours is a purple angel :).

    I must be mad but...here's my offering:

    Small dog keeps her sane
    Takes rather more really but
    The small dog knows best

    ....and I'd really love the doll

    Ok here's my attempt with the help of Small Dog of course.

    Was a pretty doll
    Lucy chewed it plenty though
    Now it's rather broke!
