Okay -- for those of you having trouble finding a way to put the word 'skateboard' into your haiku...here's an example from an expert.Jacqueline Pearce is mistress of the haiku. And nothing shows a winning edge like a haiku with a skateboard in it...so let 'er rip, Jacquie!

the scented air calls

Wow. See what I mean?
So -- now it's your turn. Leave your skateboard haiku (and don't forget the seasonal reference!) in the comments section of any of the posts between now and Friday, April 24th. We'll enter your name in the draw for the prize once for every haiku you write (that meets the specs, of course: 17 syllables, 3 lines, 5/7/5 breakdown).
And if you link to this post on your blog, we'll enter your name an extra time in the draw.
The prize? A signed copy of A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW. A copy of Jacqueline Pearce's book MANGA TOUCH (she's about to go off on a tour of Japan -- to the very city where her story is set!) AND a selection of chocolate-covered cherries, to celebrate the spring-time.
Awesome prize package -- so get writing your haiku, and spread the word!

Here's my contribution:
Perched atop a ramp,
Hop on your skateboard; push off.
Wind kisses your face.

When spring comes around
You'll know life is a skateboard -
It goes by so fast!
accidents happen
freestyling on my skateboard
ouch, it's not Fall yet
Okay, that was kinda bad...ha!
nice weather is key
to tame a skateboard half-pipe
360 degrees!
as snow starts to melt
the air becomes less chilly
dust off your skateboard
when May comes around
some will dance around a pole
I'd rather skateboard
as flower buds bloom
they listen to birds chirping
while skateboards whiz by
Okay, since I'm having WAY too much fun with this...
A kindred spirit!
I spell "Jacquie" like that too!
Make the haikus stop...
I will probably write more since I love haikus but for now....
Sudden rain showers
come down on the skateboard park
yet everyone stays
Skateboard down the street
sweet aromas fill the air
Since sping is now here
Weather gets warmer
which can mean so many things
such as skateboarding
Just a few for now.
Wow -- these are fantastic! Keep them coming!

Here's a few more:
Metal wheels clacking
On a wooden skateboard ramp.
Don't you love that sound?
Outside of the fence,
I stand and watch the skateboards
Flying down the ramp.
Helmet on your head,
Knee and elbow pads in place.
Safe skateboarding fun.
Okay, before I stop having a legit reason to make up fun haiku about skateboards and Spring...
castles in the sky
sail past as I skateboard by
a crisp breeze chills me
today was perfect
but tomorrow forecasts snow
no skateboard for you
I stop my skateboard
near sunlight-dappled shadows
squirrels wander by
The skateboard rolls by
And its rider does a jump
And tries not to fall
Did we meet by chance
or was it our destiny?
Kick and push for life
