This season’s eMetrics Haiku Classic has drawn to a close
and a winner has been selected. If you were unaware, here’s
the background: http://bit.ly/eMetrics-haiku
And here are a few runners-up…
There were many pleas of poverty – next time, I’ll include
a statement that talent trumps pity.
eMetrics again.
I would really like to go.
My boss is too cheap.

Some were right on the money
Executives think
Can manage what you measure
Careful conclusions
—– Bilandsan
Who’s working where now?
They’ll all be at eMetrics.
Attribution rules.
—– Jim Cain
Some were a tad too esoteric
sun yellow erupts
crocuses bring forth their new
misunderstandings
—– Peter Hartey
Some were philosophical
Variable views
Insights take different forms
Actions focus one
—– Bruce Stewart
Some were just the right amount of esoteric
Web analytics
It’s not what you think you know
But what you find out
—– Dominic Grzbielok
Some were long (and these two especially lovely)
Send your tweets to me,
Powering the Universe —
comfort my journey
What are you doing? –
Spring passions are revealed
In a sharp line graph
Winding through time,
the delta and baseline —
track twittering birds.
Trending down, a leaf
Spins into abandonment –
Documenting Fall
—– Joy Brazil
Geese in the Pond
Into winter skies,
Bellies full of bugs and fish,
Geese rise from the pond.
The bugs the birds chose,
Fish they picked for farewell feast,
How did they decide?
Numbers into thought,
And from thought we seed the pond.
Spring…the geese return.
—– Bruce Poropat
Some were long and autobiographical

Life reorganized new start

For questions that create growth
Imaginative
I am driven by
Collaboration and for
The bare-naked truth

And here, dear friends, I have fallen down on the job as
I have discovered not one – but two winners this time:
One captured the soul of Haiku and metrics
traffic to my site
like many precious snowflakes
melting into logs
—– B. Ahern
And the other was plaintive yet hopeful, insightful and
oh so au courant
Lost, in the abyss
Searching for the elusive
I found you, I shared
Message from the depths
Travelled far like a social
Butterfly effect
—– Ali Shah
Congratulations B. and Ali!
