Political Haiku
Five seven five style Ancient Japanese poem Can you do Haiku? Making fun of Bush Laughing at religious right Having a Gay time The Rules of haiku are simple, Three sentences, broken into syllables First five, then seven, then five. (no this one is not a haiku) Who here can do it. Will you step up to the plate? just don't break the rules. Example
Bush Che-ney Rums-feld design-ers of death and war can the world sur-vive?

....good one, every now and then I can do haiku, but my mind has gone blank.... and i never really thought of doing political haiku...it always felt like an art to me, and some how I never feel that way about politics.

Nice Haiku dash,
Just to remind you the rules of haiku, It is a short japanese poem three sentences broken into syllables of 5 for the first line, 7 for the second line and 5 for the last line. For example full of life and song we march in a grand par-ade I love be-ing Gay Those with a sharp tongue, who speak hate-ful lies, take care not to cut your throat

Heheh - Dash, I like your first one better.
That last line made me do a little *gasp* of happy happies. I really love mornings. And I loved your poem.

Political Ones Come Later. It seems to me, though, that the last line should have a slight, subtle change in focus from the first two, and the meter of the the lines should be slightly stilted. (Or is that just how they somehow translate?)
