Haiku Review of 2025: House of Haiku

Last round here. Thanks for all the haiku from far and wide, from across seas and across borders. If yours didn't get picked, it was because I'm fickle and churlish and other fancy words, but there were too damn many good ones. I read 'em all, and even if they didn't make the big board, they were a delight to soak in.

From Barb E.:
The school day ending
ICE vans near the pick up lane
To kidnap some moms

From Kevin in North Minneapolis
Water Show
Little fishing boat,
See it heading out to sea.
Watch death fall on it.

From Chris in London (formerly in Hong Kong):
Yeah, It Got That Bad
Farewell to Hong Kong
Fubared by its own elite 
Pander to China

From Marcia in Massachusetts:
In every state
Citizens are rejecting
This regime of hate 

From Tom M.:
Not Yet
I wake up daily
Read the obituaries
Champagne is ready

From Jack T. in Redneckville, IL
The Vance Kiss of Death
Who could blame the pope
For dying after meeting
Our couch-fucking veep

And a final pair from me:
The Real Threat
Trans women don't want
To rape you in the bathroom.
However, Trump would.

Dead Dick
"But I hated Trump,"
Cheney says as demons fuck
His face with barbed cocks.

Adios, 2025. You can go fuck yourself sideways and upside down. Let's hope the next year brings the beginning of the end of all this fuckery (waves at the world in general).
