Why yes, I DO have an extra pair of tickets to Walking with Dinosaurs, the ARENA SPECTACULAR opening later this month at the Rose Garden. (The show features life sized dinosaurs and is, to quote the press release, “everything a dino-phile could want.”) Would you like to win them? Okay! Given the hipster-appropriated cutesiness of dinosaur representations in pop culture, a haiku contest seems appropriate, so: Best haiku in the comments by noon on Wednesday, Feb 10, wins the tickets. (The tickets are for Wednesday, February 24.)
(On a dino-related note, I’m not the biggest fan of Dinosaur Comics [I KNOW, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME], but if you haven’t seen the “Japanese/English student version,” where Japanese kids filled out a blank dino comic, check it out. It is great.)
Brontosaurus thought
the comet was a meatball
now he is crude oil
I have a Daughter
she is a year and a half
Will freak the fuck out

to find a big bad t rex
and make him all mine
emily’s haiku

Triceratops says
He’s the baddest dino here;
T-rex thinks he sucks.
Holy shit! It’s a
Smashing dinosaur! He’ll fix
The Coliseum.
1, 2, 3 dinos,
Strolling in Forest Park, when
Suddenly, they died.
a little known fact:
Triceratops testicles
stay crispy in milk
stegosaurus will
not eat your face off because
she is a vegan
Am I even a
little bit eligible?
I’d smooch them dinos!
This show is the goods. I took my nephew right before he ended his dinosaur phase, and he was stoked!
John Hammond does not
have shit on how I pronounce
dinosaurs. For reals.
O Brontosaurus,
They say you weren’t real, as if
I could love you less
Grant Brissey is dumb.
Haiku is five-seven-five and
not twenty six-ish.
Animalia,
Chordata, Vertebrata,
and Reptilia
Diapsida, then
Archosauromorpha, and
Dinosauria
“Size and majesty;”
deinos meaning “powerful”
sauros is “reptile.”
My girlfriend is like
“Baby win us those tickets”
I wrote this for her.
Find a show to
take my Torosaurus date?
Impossible. Help!
Cold rain, dark window
From the kitchen, a soft hiss
This is how it ends
It’s jurassic park!
Dino DNA! Shoooooot heerrrr!
I’m like new Goldblum.
My joy, my new child
We will make the world our own.
“Not the Mama!” Damn.
“Dinosaur Train” theme
Like ear worm by H. Adkins
Dinos want “hot dogs.”
Who eats bacon,
A Tyrannosaurus Rex,
Emily Gibson.
Liliensternus,
A Tyrannosaurus Rex,
At Rose Quarter.
Through the thick early fog,
Sounds of Douglas firs popping,
Oh Allosaurus.
It’s the only way,
when you don’t have a time machine,
to ride a dino.
We “love” dinos.
Let me take my Valentine!
(You know what I mean).
Tyrant, Greek for “king”;
But king of what, with arms that
cannot hold the queen?
Dominick has Monty,
Adisyn saw them at Omsi,
Do they walk too, Dad.
velociraptor
is less scary with feathers,
adulthood lacks glee.
“We “love” dinos.
Let me take my Valentine!
(You know what I mean).”
Dino smooching? Do you mean dino smooching?
I hope she means dino smooching!
Nex, I read Sarahfina’s haiku as this:
Valentine and I
want to make out on and with
sexy dinosaurs.
Jurassic Park blew
My mind at age eleven.
Please do it again?
Walking with T Rex?
*Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom*
I walk no longer.
Dryosaurus’ love
for the spotlight’s heady glow
gets me hot and bothered.
Who won?
