Turns out we had one extra book sitting around for the Hamburger America Burger Haiku Giveaway. So we have six winners instead of five! They are, in no particular order:
dark brown salty crust
right amount of pink inside
sizzle juicy drip —benzado
The judges say: A perfect portrait of the perfect burger.
You once were a cow
Now you are a burger
Tasty little cow —UncleTupelo
The judges say: Fun and wickedly dark—from the cow's standpoint. If haikus had titles, this one's would be "Bwahahahah."
this is Mc Nuggets
i said i want a Big Mac
fix your intercom —maqloubeh
The judges say: We've all been there, man. Amen.
Fresh from the butcher,
When almost rare, good moist beef,
Seasoned, stands alone —LunaPierCook
The judges say: Right on. The best burgers need little more than seasoning.
Pastures of cows & steer
Fields of golden wheat
A Burger is Born —Q80 BurgerBelly
The judges say: Simply beautiful. Captures not only the spirit of burgers but the spirit of America at its best, as well.
Family cookout
Behind me, sizzle and smoke --
I can see burgers —EatingInTranslation
The judges say: Evocative of Memorial Day and summer weekends in general.
Thanks to everyone who entered. And it is clear we will have to hold a burger limerick contest soon!
George: I really liked this one, too, and it was near the top in our voting. I'm really sorry I didn't ask you to help judge; just figured you'd be busy. Anyway, I just looked on the bookshelf here and see that I've got yet another copy of HA I could part with, so I'll send that to Hunnyoil. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the haikus.

Well, that goes right next to the copy of "Perfect Scoop" I won last year. Thanks, gang!

WOW. Thanks for doing this, Adam. Very impressive response and so many great haikus! My personal favorite was by Hunnyoil:

A Burger on the grill
All is Well
