You may recall that we were looking for a skilled haikusmith deserving of a pair of tickets to Sunday’s Bonnie Prince Billy show at the Troc. Well, the results are in and these baffling 17 syllables won our hearts:

I taste a darkness.

It is filtered by my ‘stache.

Stout, dark English stout.

—Chris O’Brien

Here are two runners up we also like. They don’t win anything.

A haiku in three parts:

His reputation:

musician, man of lore, oh

Bonnie Prince Billie

His mustachio'ed

folkdom, thy reign will be told

at the Troc, oh.

Bonnie Prince Billie,

I wish to see, oh myself,

Your reputation.

—Alex LaBant

Billy Bonnie Prince?

Quietly, you rule the world.

Yet, you speak volumes.

—Justin Glowacki

Bonnie “Prince” Billy plays Sun., June 24, 7:30 p.m., Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-5483. More info here.
