Rate the Haiku!

I’ve added a new feature to Beer Haiku Daily.

At the bottom of each post is a “Rate this Haiku” doodad. You rate each haiku on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best) by simply clicking on the stars. The plugin automagically calculates and displays the average rating.

Why am I doing this? Well I’m kind of a geek and I like to play with new things. In addition, I am curious to see which haiku have the most appeal. Maybe I will put the best one on a t-shirt or something. Finally, I think it might be fun.

Anyway, I hope you will join the fun. Remember, vote early and vote often.

Cheers!

It’s a matter of perspective

drinking a tall stout
can put things in perspective
when you’ve reached land’s end

Written by Captain Hops.

Inspired by this picture taken by Chris, one of the fine folks at Belmont Station Beer Forum:

Camping in the Fall

cold breezy whisper
but I got fire and beer
and stars in the sky

Contributed by Captain Hops.

References: Inspired by the quote: “Without beer, camping is just sleeping in the woods.” I wish I knew where I heard it.

Duh.

If you don’t like beer
perhaps you shouldn’t review
the greatest beer fest

Contributed by Captain Hops.

References: I was reading an article about Oktoberfest on the Bloomberg website. I think it was called Moron Reviews Oktoberfest but I am not sure. Anyway, I couldn’t figure out the point of this article. It was like reading a movie review by someone that hates movies.
