Friday Haiku - or more like a Poetry Slam?

by: the_promised_land

Fri Jun 24, 2011 at 03:45:00 PM EDT



With skyrocketing traffic to Blue Jersey and multiple diaries with 50+ comments, people have a lot to say this week, and are saying it loud. Which makes it a good week for Friday haikus - poetry slam edition.

You know the rules. 5 syllables, then 7, and 5 again. Write your haiku on the topic provided, then you suggest the topic for the next poet. Though if a lot of people this week want to riff off of, um, similar themes - we get that.

I'll start you off:

Christiecrats

Just like Charlie Brown
Christies ratings down and down
Dems still won't kick ball

Next topic: Health/pension vote

Health pension vote (0.00 / 0)
Christie wins bigger
Costs shifted but not lowered
Rich own both parties

Next Topic: Camden-Essex alliance


Camden-Essex alliance (0.00 / 0)
I scratch him, you scratch
Can we get some fairy dust?
Thank you, Massa Chris

Next topic: Chris Christie for President

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


[ Parent ]
Chris Christie for President (0.00 / 0)
He is not running.
He says he is not running.
He would never lie?

Next topic: Now what?


South Jersey (0.00 / 0)
South Jersey Locked Up
Bosses in Complete Control
What Are Dems to Do?

Now What (4.00 / 1)
Each fight is the same,
Money versus human need,
Never fear or give up.



Christiecrats (0.00 / 0)
Christiecrats sold out
They sold out without a doubt
now they face a rout

If we don't stand together, we fall alone
That didn't last long.



Free turn? (0.00 / 0)
Tried to help you see
You chose to denigrate me
Now your stuck, no luck

Freestyle (0.00 / 0)
When the gap between
Haves and nave nots grows wider
We all all poorer.

Next: move forward

"We do not consider patriotism desirable if it contradicts civilized behavior." - Friedrich Durrenmatt

Move forward (0.00 / 0)
You can't make them be
Imagination is key
Learn to nudge, not shove

Next topic: where on Earth is Jeff Tittel? Just kidding!


[ Parent ]
Rebel (0.00 / 0)
We must rebel now
There is no time for weakness
The fight is rising

If we don't stand together, we fall alone
That didn't last long.

Where on Earth Is Jeff Tittel (just kidding) (0.00 / 0)
Endorsed Chris Daggett
Photographed in Christie crowd
What the frack was that?

Next topic: NJN

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


NJN (0.00 / 0)
As a medium
TV's losing so much ground
Creative thoughts please.
