Whew! Had to read through these about 4 times to narrow them down, and while there were tons of great entries, I went with what stood out as most memorable and kept surfacing as thought provoking. Thanks so much for all the entries--so many more deserve trophies than what I could give !

Thank you so much, MadameLavender, for the great idea of fortune cookie haikus per se and the very kind and professional hosting of the competition :-). I had fun in writing and reading!

Miss ML. . .Thank You for the wonderful Trophy and for hosting such a fun comp (we need lots and lots more of them) and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for considering my piece(s); and I must say there were some pretty damn good ones wrapped up in here so I understand the "Whew!"!

Rabbitquest & Spanker, Congrats.

Miss Jade(y) and Miss Chi, a great thanks to you both for dropping a line of congrats.

Great competition!

Many of these made me laugh in one way or another ... or probed me to think as those little slips of papers that come with my order of dumplings do.

Devlin! Great stuff ... congrats to the runners up! Miss Chiyo, loved your pieces, they were my personal favorites.  Minerva thanks for the mention.

Doc, always a pleasure penning for your challenges.
