Pants Outside Trousers, Big Letter H on T Shirt, Here to Save the World
Inspiration
Pants Outside Trousers, Big Letter H on T Shirt, Here to Save the World started life as an entry into the monthly Dorrie's Challenge on the Slingink writing forum, in October 2008. The prompt that month was "Rescue", and Pants Outside Trousers, Big Letter H on T Shirt (as it was originally known as) was voted first out of thirteen entries.
Placings
After taking another look at the title and realising that I had (completely accidentally) created the first two lines of a formal 5-7-5 syllable haiku, I added Here to Save the World to complete it. In this form, I submitted it to the Leaf Books Poetry Competition the very same month, where it was highly commended.
Publications
As a highly commended entry, it was published in Leaf Books' anthology, "Dancing with Delsie" in 2009.
