Keep 'em coming, motherfuckers. Once again, I asked and you have already sent a shitload of haiku. Coming in from sea to dingy sea, you're once again defining the year with your simple, short poems. Here are a few of the absolute best I've read so far:
From Tom, missing friends in Asheville:
Ode to Climate Change
Helene's fury proved
That mountain towns are not safe
From hurricanes' wrath
From Heather in Minnesota:
Snow drifts white this eve.
Hate, greed, or war, no matter
Snow'll be red by morn.
From Rabbitearz in L.A.:
Beware of Beardo
If that couch could talk...
That weird eyeliner guy is
Holding the NUKE CODES.
From Not Clever Enough to Think of a Clever Name: (me: oooh, meta)
Too Depressed to Think of a Title
fight fight fight he said
as bullet tore through his ear
more guns than voters
From Debbie in Dallas:
OH, LOOK!
it's a guillotine
Sharpened and ready to go
Whom is it for - OH!
From TMangrove in Wisconsin:
Four More Years
I can’t I just can’t.
It’s hard. They are relentless.
I will not give in.
From VJ in NJ:
Suit Up!
We now stand against
Weaponized stupidity
A blitzkrieg of dumb
And from me:
Not Until the Sepsis Starts
A pregnant woman
Bleeding in a hospital
Parking lot, Texas
The Real Threat
Drag queens don't rape kids.
But in the church's rec hall
Your youth pastor does.
Keep on sending them in to rudepundit@yahoo.com. I've got dozens more to get through, but I want to get haiku'd in the face repeatedly. Make that happen, rude readers.
(Note: The titles of the posts will be variations on my favorite TV shows of the year, in case you're wondering.)
