Best. Giveaway. Ever. Thanks to everyone who entered, because the haikus were super-fun to read. Poets, all of you! Alas, we can only have five winners, and here they are, along with their respective masterpieces (as selected by Random.org):

If you guys can shoot me your home addresses (cheaphealthygood@gmail.com), I can get those $25 gift cards out to you a.s.a.p.

For kicks, these were a few of my non-winning favorites. Most were hilarious (Muki), a few were downright gorgeous (Anne), and one (Kathi) had a Liz Lemon reference, which is always good by me. Enjoy!
