Haikus for today? Who's in?!

[NRaleighLiberal]

I will start in gently....


Getting close, getting nasty
punch and counterpunch
Who is the true enemy?

McCain must be quite happy
So much wasted time
When he should be the target

[saltpoint]

1. Here's a try.

- - -

Third in Iowa
No plan post-Feb 5th at all
I am a Victim.

- - -

[saltpoint]

2. - - - -

- - -

Debt in the millions
The Supes flee in droves
West Virginia rocks

- - -

[woo me with science]

3. Weird, this seems to be two threads.

Hill will kill Barack.
Michelle will scratch Bill's eyes out.
Women scare us so.

[saltpoint]

4. - - - -

- - -

Young years but sage heart
Much work to be done.
Lincoln's ghost approves.

- - -

5. ----- ------- -----

Untangling the feuds
Of our friends--so much harder
Than besting our foes

[murray hill farm]

6. A Try.

My road has been long..my path so clear.
Reaching long for the prize my life holds dear.
My path has been hard, but I pushed on and on.

Tired now...so tired now. Road filled with ruts.
I cannot stop now. I have come so far, so far.
But, I stumble now and fall and fall. It hurts.

7. What happened to my Haikus? I worked for minutes on those.

[DLnyc]

9. In my humble opinion, there is some serious hacking going on.

Interesting that the dual thread is filled with hate, and this one's not.

[saltpoint]

8. Hey. How come you did 2 threads on this and

left the building ablaze?

[CaptJasHook]

10. WTF? That sucks.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. -

The highest office
completely attainable
but for the horror

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. -

I do solemnly
swear to uphold the rictus
of my fallow dreams

[eppur_se_muova]

13. I thought the OP was meant to be a haiku ...

Haikus for today?
Feel free to try your own hand!
Anyway, who's in?

[Celebration]

14. haiku

Dark comedy reigns
Tonya Harding on our minds
You can't make this up.

Alas, lack of sleep
Makes a mouth babble freely
She needs a rest cure

[Celebration]

15. Another

What is the end game?
Running on fumes and sputter
Wheeze. Clonk. Smash. Collapse.

[JVS]

16. Ok

The DLC vulture
awaits a gunman's action
it's her only path

[DarienComp]

17. here's one...

Just stop Hillary.
You've been an embarrassment
Since Super Tuesday.

[Celebration]

18. another

Clinton remembers
Assassination in June
She will pick up pieces

[Celebration]

19. again

Ghoulish, high strangeness
But we should be used to that
Say, 3am, what?

[FlyingSquirrel]

20. ...

This, my first Haiku
Clumsily it plods along
Aren't you glad it's done?

[Pisces]

21. continued

Darken his image
Allude to Muslim heritage
Blow the dog whistle

undermine his visage
scream Shame on You
reference RFK..... the end

[billyoc]

22. Don't you have your 5 and 7 switched around?

:shrug:

[Celebration]

23. I think it is an inverse haiku

Maybe I will try my hand at those, too.

[Celebration]

24. more

GDP implodes
Democratic Underground
May lose some posters

What was the meaning?
Who knows her thought processes?
Is she bipolar?

Clinton, oh Clinton
How dost thou keep going on?
Who gives you credit?
