So, you are the one who rejected the celebratory haiku I submitted? Please reconsider.
Wordnik.com, a celebratory haiku
Wordnik.com rocks.
Discovering all the words
With my help. Yippee!
I struggled with two things: convincing myself that people would speak the understood syllable of “dotâ€; the obligatory reference to nature — hence, “rocks.†Others may struggle with the total absence of poetry or art, but that is the struggle of those who cannot rise above such things.
Glenn,
If you are worried about losing the ".", you could do "Wordnik dot com rocks." That is relatively standard (but not as cute
) and unambiguous. Ambiguity, because the first dot is voiced, but the second should not be. "Wordnik dot com rocks dot" does not fit the haiku but could be a valid parsing.

No, Grant. You are very kind to ask. When I registered months back I got an e-mail with contact info. It suggested various reasons for contact, as I recall. One of the mentioned possibilities tickled me. It was to share a celebratory haiku. So I had to send one, despite the void of wit, art, meat, or zip.
If you think this one is bad, you should read my Metahaiku. To the relief of wordnik.com, any relationship between Metahaiku and wordnik.com is nonexistent.
