We're not going to lie – that was TOUGH! So tough, in fact, we brought in a panel of judges this time, in addition to all of us here at Shawnimals. There were so many great ones, and others that unfortunately didn't make the cut due to it not being in Haiku form. However, most were so we choose from those. Phew!
First things first, the judges...
- Whitney Kerr – Co-owner of Rotofugi
- Robbie Q. Telfer – Writer, poet, co-writer of Ninjatown DS
- Neil Balkcom – Coffee producer at Crop to Cup
We each choose our top three, and then tallied the votes. Here's how it all played out, including a three-way tie for Third Place!
- First Place: Nicole Kline with this hilarious and appropriate ode...
With great cookies comes
Great responsibility.
Ninjas, protect them! - Seocnd Place: Dave with this Macho Ninja adage...
I'd feel incomplete
With a cold upper lip. Home.
Home is a mustache. - Third Place #1: Sam done got Stealth Hugged...
What is that I hear?
Could it be a wee ninja?
Oh noes! The Stealth Hug! - Third Place #2: Connor is not a fan of baby poop...
Baby Ninja, Cute
Except for his ninja poop
Don't do that again. - Third Place #3: Rafael obviously plays Trees of Doom!
Master ninja says
"Even monkeys fall from trees
Retry Wee Ninja"
So there you have it! We really REALLY loved so many of them, and thank you for your submitting. As an added bonus, all of our favorites (not just the winners) will be added to the list of Kotowaza that are displayed randomly on the Ninjatown web site when the new site is launched (in the next month or two). Why? Because we love you.
We'll be in touch with the winners soon! Thanks again from all of us here at Shawnimals.

Mr. Demon, I think this may be just what we want -- one of our minions from the Dark Forest will now infiltrate a collection of good, unsuspecting ninjas!
