Last week's haiku contest proved a jolly good time, so we thought we'd share with you which haikus H-dad liked the best. We'd been corresponding with him via gmail up until yesterday, when we received this report. Is H-dad dead? Prove that he is/isn't by sending pictures and sightings to hawkmadinejad@gmail.com

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

In case you haven't noticed,Columbia's favorite red-tail has his (or her?) own Hawkmadinebwog! To show our affection, Bwog staffers have been writing haikus in honor of the best individual of Order Falconiformes. Ours are pretty good (see below) but we think you, dear readers and hawk fans, can do better. And since one of H-dad's favorite things is contests, we'll give a prize to the writer of his best poetic praise.

Haikus by Katie R., Zach vS and Anna C. after the jump!

In our second poetry post of the day, Bwog is happy to announce that both of this week's personals were offered dates. Pitr's suitor--who would like to remain anonymous--had a particularly charming proposition, reprinted below.

I have written a series of four haikus in order to try and explain why I love Pitr so, and why it should be me.

Spat in my face once.
Not expected, shocked staring.
But, very funny.

Would come to lit hum
Unshod, despite heavy snow.
Nearly reported.

Scooter and knee cap.
When they collide, immense pain
Always in a rush.

CC, Lit hum friend
Now so busy that I must
Ask Bwog to pick me.
