Haiku Review of 2023: The End

Big, rude thanks to everyone who submitted their haiku about the just-murdered year of 2023. When we look back, let's hope we remember it as the beginning of the end of the control Donald Trump has over our consciousness, like some kind of thought Hitler, and not the beginning of the beginning of the control Donald Trump has over our actual existence, like some kind of real Hitler.

Let's punch 2023 in the stones with these gems:

From Shannon M.:
It's easy to say
"Fuck Hamas and Fuck Likud"
Why is this so hard.

From BB in LA:
Saying "Beetlejuice"
Three times makes Lauren Boebert
Leave her home district

From Chris in Hong Kong:
Trump, Putin and Xi
triumvirate of pure cunts
the death of freedom

From Christine Arendt (no relation to Hannah):
Church & State 
nine judges supreme
fucking taking us backwards
democracy hangs

From Math Guy in Minnesota:
We love climate change!
No more freezing winter days
In coastal Nashville.

From war gerbil:
SURPRISE!
Crypto wonder-kid:
Sloppy hair and dress and fraud
Who woulda thunk it?

From RG in Illinois:
Daily Thought
I heard what you said.
And you strongly believe it.
You're just fuckin' wrong.

From Don the Canadian:
Yeats was right – he said
The center would never hold.
America’s fucked. 

From Curmudgeon in Chevy Chase:
Though a hurricane 
Of horror, we keep up hope.
But it ain’t easy.

And one more from me:
Laborers March
Striking workers all
Over America kicked
Ass. Let's hope for more.
