Personal Finance Haiku Challenge
The interestingly-named Make Your Nut website has contacted me about a personal finance haiku challenge, and since I’m such a budding Wordsworth I thought I’d have a crack (no pun with their site name intended). Here are the details:
We’re looking for the best haiku about personal finance, and we’re paying a cash prize of $20. The deadline for submissions is June 15. After that, we’re going to have an open voting period for another two weeks, whereupon we will announce the winner with the most votes.
Here is my entry.
The Piggy Bank
Shake my piggy bank
Its pink tummy is hollow
Where did the coins go?
This must be worthy of the Nobel Prize in Literature, surely. Evocative, melodic and reminiscent of Shakespeare in his haiku phase.
Think you can do better? Well, smarty pants, visit their site and enter your own version.
