Ready, Set , Write

Okay, all you sham Seamus Heaneys and bogus Billy Collinses. It's poetry time.

Send me your best haiku to win our deluxe Gaelic Storm/Irish Fest prize package. Your poem should follow the 5-7-5 haiku meter and should deal with both the band (Gaelic Storm), its members or the KC show on the 28th and Halloween or the generally spooky. I'll give you a 'frinstance, written by me:

Missing the big show
Would be like Count Dracula.
It would suck. End of poem.

See how easy? Send yours by 5:00 PM Central this coming Friday, October 15th and our celebrity judge Patrick Murphy will pick a winner. If it's you, you'll get a pair of tickets to the October 28th Gaelic Storm show at the beautiful Uptown Theater in Kansas City, a pair of tickets to the 2011 Kansas City Irish Fest at Crown Center and 2 KC Irish Fest t-shirts. Send your entries to gaelichaiku@gmail.com.

Good luck! And if you're not a poet, fear not. Contest 2 is coming next week.

Sexy bitches in costume
