Haikus for Scott Brown: The Finalists Poll

We appreciate the many responses for the haiku contest. I didn’t realize beforehand how hard it would be to cut the list down to just a handful. We received about 55 entries and there were many good ones. I raised the total number of finalists from 7 to 10 (it was easier than cutting.) All finalists will automatically receive a free MITT ’12 chrome sticker. The top three will receive free merchandise from the MRC store, the top prize being $50 of free Mitt stuff. It was originally $30 but was raised to $50 by a typo (thanks Aaron). Second place will get $20, and third will get $15.

Here are the 10 finalists. Vote for them in the poll below. You may select up to three haikus in the poll, each will receive one point.
