Blue Jersey Haiku Friday

by: Rosi Efthim

Fri Aug 20, 2010 at 12:47:43 PM EDT



It's time to cruise into the weekend with haiku. Lots to news to write about. Menendez & Lautenberg are digging for the truth why the Lockerbie bomber is free. The right-wing gins up outrage over the Islamic cultural center 2 blocks from Ground Zero. CNN's Top 100 House Races comes out, with 2 NJ races. SEC goes after NJ for securities fraud. Steve Sweeney's Gloucester Freeholder Board gets slapped with a court-ordered monitor to check their transparency.

Remember the rules? Write your verse - 7 syllables, then 5, then 7 again - on the topic suggested, then you get to set the topic for the next haiku. I'll start you off:

The Last Combat Troops Leave Iraq

Boots walk airport floor
Duffle hoisted on shoulder
Can't be soon enough

Next topic: Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero
