Robo-Bobo got up bright and early this morning to draw a name from one of the many, many entries to the Nobody Gets the Girl give-away. Our first winner is...
Lynette Mejia!
A book is heading your way, Lynette!
Next... haiku. Back in May June, when this blog did dragon-haiku, I had a respectable turnout of twenty some poems. This time, after author Mur Lafferty, of Playing for Keeps fame, announced this contest on her blog, I got twenty haiku in a single day! I'm dividing them up thematically and will be presenting them in little mini anthologies throughout the month.
We'll launch with a handful of poems about the love lives of our masked avengers I'm calling:
Young Superheroes in Love
Hand in frozen hand,
you never saw me smile when
the freeze ray caught us
--Zach Wellhouse
He flies off again
Leaving the girl alone, sigh,
Always flies away.
--Liz Tetley
dating a hero:
not all it's cracked up to be
watch out for fridges
--Mingyun Jack
ebon darkness falls
on the girl nobody got
void only remains
--Stephen James
big man with tight shorts
born with speed and strength
he must mask his love
--Thom Allen
Finally, a plug for a the Ghost in the Machine podcast of fellow author Gail Z. Martin, author of the Summoner and the Blood King. Gail interviewed me for her podcast last spring and the episode just went live. You can find out what I sound like by clicking here.
