Haiku Winner!

Well, we's gonna have a real surprise --

As I type I still ain't quite settled on the winnin' Haiku, so I thought mebbe if I see some thoughts in print a decision will crystallize? Heah goes.

First ain't it a thrill to have such a terrific turnout to start the year anew? We have some new players--welcome all! Please keep coming--the more the merrier. We missed a few regulars, but i 'twere a holiday weekend...but we miss y'all.

I'se sorry to make this short--gotta git somehwhar's afore 8 am. Would love to do a fun write up fer y'all. Ok, think I'se decided--mayhap it's jes' mah mood, but I think I got it--an' it's real tough 'cause thar's so many good phrases that make ya sit up straight! I 'specially favor the deep thinkin' Haikus as a rule , an' many were very very good this run.

But distilled down, I can admit the rhyme or reason fer the final choice is sheer whimsy--I'se goin' wif' a tickled funny bone, an' also admittin' I'se been played by a cleveah blogger.

But first-- yes! I'se a tease--first is special mention to perhaps the newest blogger?

As the sun rises
Chasing away the shadows
One can dream again.
