I've been pimping ljhaikuidol, which I feel has far too few contestants.

Please feel free to follow along, even if you're not playing! The entries will be submitted anonymously, so I won't be posting them here. Well, if I really like one, I may post it here after the polls have closed an authors are revealed. But for the most part, if you want to check out my mad haiku skills, you should follow ljhaikuidol. This week, week 0, is our introductions. I'm posting mine here, in a feeble attempt to further entice you (and because it's the only one I really can):


My name's Amanda.
I live near Asheville, NC.
I so love haiku.

Also newlywed.
Two kids, daughters; we homeschool.
Well, unschool really.

I'm a birth doula,
a Reiki Master, and I
say I'm a writer.

(Few published pieces.
Like to blog. And boxes of
unfinished stories.)

I share my passions.
I ask for help; pass it on.
And I like to play.

I'm just a traveler
on a curvy, rambling path
that I like to share.









(PS: In the South, we pronounce it 'trav-ler'. If you don't, just drop the "I'm" :P)
