And then–after the Muses have visited me and I have polished my verse to a otherworldly sheen–then, and only then, Theo, will I emerge with a bundle of razor-like haiku that will slash the opposition to ribbons!" Holy crap agno! With a response like that you should really think about becoming an English teacher. “So I will soon repair to my literary dungeon, where I will sit in seclusion, pondering the mysteries of the haiku, subsisting on only water, carrots, whey protein, and green tea, my mind focused resolutely on the intersection of sublime poetry and religious nonsense and absurdity, drawing inspiration from ancient Japanese masters and a long line of freethinkers and debunkers of religion.

I'm up to the challenge and will be submitting more entries soon. (BTW, congrats on your 3rd in the similes contest.) In fact, I don't want an easy victory; I agree with Paine: "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value."
