Time to polish those razor-like wits to a high sheen once again, because Breakup Girl is busting out her world-famous Haiku Contest and, as in years past, the shwag is mighty.
The highest-rated will go to our celebrity judge -- Jason Reich, Emmy-Award-winning writer for Emmy-Award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart who will help pick the prize winners.
Need some inspiration? Here's a sample from BG herself:

"Well, if it's 'not me,'" I said.

It would be just like him to
Be writing haikus.

Dark, dark, it is dark as...night-
Oh, God, what's the point?
I guess I'm allowed
To see other people now.
But he sure isn't.
Update: Here's my entry:

my heart a disaster zone
where is my FEMA?

if only i could
fit my bitterness into
a simple haiku
