Ode(s) to Burritos

I am an award-winning poet.

On Thursday, coworker Adam gasped as this was tweeted:

So began the great inter-office competition of the morning. Nashville-wide, really. We were up against a lot of avid Baja fans...all being judged by distinguished Rabbit Room author Jonathan Rogers. Naturally, I could think of nothing other than devoting my morning to writing as many burrito haikus as possible. When you combine my salary and my love for Baja burritos, I had to win.

Enjoy these twelve separately submitted haikus. Which is your favorite?

Deep fall's setting in

Chicken, beans, cheese, and veggies

Snuggling in a sack.

Return from abroad?

Baja B is all I need.

Cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese.

Wednesday lunch date's here

It's the hotbed of romance

Baja loves the love.

Cheese on cheese on cheese;

Vats of queso fill my soul.

Uh oh - more chips please?

My heart aches deeply

Without Baja in my tum

Please bring me back home.

I'm no wordsmith, but

For a sweet, free burrito

I'll pour out my soul.

Even Mexico

Smiles on your tasty delights.

You have won, Baja.

GSM loves food

Baja fills us every week

Soulmates til the end

A new corner sign?

"Will haiku for free Baja."

Send love to the streets

Queso hits the floor

Tears welling in my sad eyes

Cry over spilt cheese.

Six months in Namib

Black beans were not to be found

Baja's all I craved

The day's end is nigh

Poetic burritos are

Floating through my dreams.

Later that day, dreams came true:

Don't worry: Adam won a free burrito, too ("cover me in guac / wrap me in tortillas soft / home away from home"). Global Support Mission swept 1/5 of the burritos. Talk about winning.
