Our quest to raise money for the very, very great Northwest Harvest continues...

So far Slog has raised $ $4,567 to help! EXCELLENT.

And the winner of yesterday's SEAFOOD DELIGHT haiku contest is the wonderful bitethemailman, aka Adam, who says, "I have donated $20 to NWH because no one should ever be hungry. And, something about being a Swashbuckling Hero." BEHOLD his masterpiece:

Two blue rubber bands
I shot them across the room
Lobster Night

bitethemailman/Adam wins a $100 gift certificate to Kevin Davis's Blueacre Seafood, courtesy of Dine Around Seattle.

Be a giver like him! Just donate to Northwest Harvest right now—whatever amount you can afford!

You will also become a Slog SWASHBUCKLING HERO, if you're not one already—just send us your commenter handle along with your receipt, and we'll set you up. HEROES UNITE on Slog!

Nobody in America writes real haiku, it's about a lot more than syllable count, so just enjoy.

I'm going to expose my ignorance to denizens of slog. Is that an acceptable structure for a Haiku?
