So I've been thinking about getting back to blogging, and then this most perfect of events came to be and I knew it was THE moment for my e-identity to resurface. Think about it. What two things make me happier than anything in the world? Yes, that's right; Beyonce and goofy poetry.
NY Magazine held a contest for best Beyonce haiku. what. The winner gets two VIP tickets to Bey's Good Morning America performance. WHAT (Good Morning, indeed!) The contest closed this morning, and surprisingly I haven't heard anything yet. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'll win, but it would be nice to know for sure.
These are the haiku(s?) I submitted:
B, of honeyed hues!
What are you like in real life?
Exquisite, I'm sure.
hair of gilded strands
the body of a goddess
a voice like church bells
B, we'd be fast friends.
Say! After your performance,
let's go to breakfast.
LOL, right?? I found it hilarious how inclined I was to use religious imagery while I was brainstorming these. Mostly lines about her being an angel and a goddess, and being sent from heaven.
By the way, VIP means I get to meet Beyonce, right? OH GOD, what will I wear?
As we await the announcement of the winner with bated breath, I would like to share a few of the super crazy things my fellow contestants said about Beyonce:
she is "a lamb in the dark (hm?)," "quick like a cheetah" a "Renaissance woman" and "a hero of science!" Also, a "boof poof." Seriously.
"she will always guard your soul."
her music is "Nectar for parched ears."
AND. somebody refers to her as "Beysus."
I'll keep you posted/let you know when I win.
