Ahhh, giveaways—it’s been awhile, huh? So here’s your chance to enter a Murfie Giveaway today, ‘cos there’s no day like today! The human being who writes the most awesome haiku poem (English style) about music, as judged by the crew at Murfie, wins $50 of store credit AND a custom Murfie T-shirt. Heads-up: 50 bucks will take you very far on Murfie—lotsa and lotsa albums are only $1!
As a refresher, an English-style haiku consists of 3 lines of 17 syllables total (5, 7, 5). The subject matter simply has to be MUSIC—whether it be about the first CD you owned, your favorite band, the music you are embarrassed to love, etc. The winning haiku will be published here on our blog.
For a chance to win, leave a comment to this post with your haiku poem before midnight CST on Monday, September 3, 2012. Be sure to fill in your name and email address (your email is not published). Please, one haiku per email. The winner will be notified by email during the week of September 3rd, and the winning haiku will be featured on our blog shortly thereafter.
Thanks a bunch to each and every person who left us a haiku! The crew here at Murfie was very impressed by the selection. :) After much consideration, we’ve decided to name Brian as this contest’s winner. His poem was:
Out here in the fields
“I’m gonna do that one day”
Guitarist for hire
We know we can’t win, but here is Libby and I’s haiku:

On Murfie today
Good karma move
As it moves through air
on a hot and humid day
I think: “Oh. How nice.”
Cool blue music true
Rock, country, jazz, hip-hop, too
Love them all – do you?
Bluegrass, hip-hop, rock
Protest song, hymn, or ballad
Music moves me so
You’re in trouble, Cliff
If you use a treble clef
In front of the staff!
That “Sweet Soul Music”
Where has it gone, I wonder
Was Motown with Love
Emotions exressed
Feelings of love, pain, joy, grief
Music speaks volumes
Beatles Forever!
John, Paul, George and Ringo sang
Music of our Lives!
Rocking in my ears
Rolling me through out my soul
Songs I love for years
Plucked three sad strings
Vibrations wash over wounds
Music conquers all
Music
Always by my side
Giving my life a soundtrack
Might die without you
Songs enter my brain
Track after track of pleasure
Without liner notes
How it resonates
Exposing the frequencies
Realligning me
Elvis rocked and rolled!
Madonna and Britney kissed!
Murfie streams your tunes!
I first heard CD
like 25 years ago. Sure it was
The Cars Candy-O
