Summer vacation is almost over.
So what better way to remember great summer memories than by sharing weird photos with strangers and writing haiku poems about them?
During the last stream, we held another photo haiku-caption challenge. (See the previous ones here.)
Since it was the last day of Abbey’s summer vacation, we picked three photos that she took over the past month for chat write haiku about. After each photo we voted which were best, and at the end the winners got fabulous prizes!
Here’s the photos we captioned:
Photo #1: Me Asleep on the Train
Here’s some of the haiku highlights for this photo:
A snooze on a cruise
Local writer takes a nap
Abbey takes a snap
-RealSayakaMaizono (my pick)
Multi-track drifting
In and out of consciousness
Photogenic nap
-RealSayakaMaizono (Abbey’s pick)
The train moves fastly
He still manages sleep
He dreams vastly
-LilacSkies
Scott is unaware
In a flash, photo ninja
Abbey strikes again

Photo #2: Creepy Mannequin at Department Store
Here’s some of the haiku highlights for this photo:
Alright here’s the deal
Don’t you dare steal
The pain you will experience is real
-LilacSkies (my pick)
Dead end retail job
Retired Walmart greeter
Buy some bikinis
-SIXSIXseve_n (Abbey’s pick)
Freaky bargain store
Careful, they might take your soul
But prices are good
-gameon12321
Japan comes calling
Scary mannequin stalking
You’d best get walking
-RealSayakaMaizono
Photo #3: “NO SMORKING” Sign Inside a Hotel
Here’s some of the haiku highlights for this photo:
Abbey can’t believe what she sees
How can this be?
“Wait, I need to pee”
-LilacSkies (my pick)
The hotel can not write
Guess i’ll have to fight
For my Karen right
-LilacSkies (Abbey’s pick)
Designer misheard
While Cake was stuffed in his mouth
Muffled this timeless meme
-RealSayakaMaizono
Something isn’t right
I look back at the small sign
What the heck’s a smork?
-gameon12321
Paid extra for room
Planned to smork with friends all night
Disappointing stay
-SIXSIXseve_n
Those were some great haiku! But in the end the winner was…

…LilacSkies! Congratulations! As their prize, they requested that Abbey draw them a mermaid and send it to them on a postcard.
Ooh, she slayed that contest!
