Judging by sub-zero temps this week and the inches of snow outside my window, it’s safe to say that winter is upon us, at least at my home base in Colorado. Long or not, it’s an exciting time for fellow Coloradoan Erin Blakemore, whose 2010 book The Heroine’s Bookshelf is now out in paperback. You know what that means: time for another contest!
To kick off the holidays in wintry style, we thought we’d try something a tiny bit different this time … a haiku contest to accompany a giveaway of the book.
Here are the rules:
1. Write a haiku about The Long Winter
2. Post it here in the comments
That’s it! You have until the end of the day on Monday, December 12. Erin and I will choose our favorite and bestow the winner with a copy of The Heroine’s Bookshelf, which features a chapter on The Long Winter and Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Happy writing!
