Celebrate National Grammar Day with a Haiku Cornucopia

March 4th is National Grammar Day, so let's celebrate grammatically! As part of the festivities, the American Copy Editors Society has sponsored a grammar-themed haiku contest on Twitter. The entries have been submitted — enjoy them below, via Storify. (We'll update the post when the judges have selected a winner.)

Update: And we have a winner! It's our own Nancy Friedman, who submitted a haiku in the grammar-tweaking style of the "doge" meme:

Wow. Very poem
Amaze syllabifying.
Because #grammarday.

Check out the runners-up here.
