The winners of the Rapunzel 5-7-5 contest are:
# 1 leeflailmarch
Rapunzel’s long hair
too expensive to rebond
but great for climbing
# 5 listbonne
Cellophane sana,
pero sabi ng bakla:
“Hibang ka ba, ‘te?”
# 8 lady q
Waiting and waiting
Locked up high in her tower
To let down her hair
# 9 din79
Rapunzel, Oh dear!
Put your long hair to good use,
make it stepmom’s noose.
Note: In the movie the hag is not the stepmom, but this works for us anyway.
# 14 the chronicler of boredom
A long-haired virgin
enjoys her hair being pulled
by a virile prince.
Note: In the movie the love interest is a common thief so this version is closer to the original.
Congratulations, winners! Please post your full names and mailing addresses in Comments so our friends at Disney can send you your Tangled lampshades. Thanks to everyone who sent in their haikus.
Up next: the 127 Hours giveaway that does not require you to cut your arm off.

Congratulations to the winners and to all the other entrants. Who knew a poetry-writing competition would be better-participated-in than usual? I hope that the sonnets fare just as well.
