Haiku - Special Saturday Edition

by: the_promised_land

Sat Jul 09, 2011 at 08:30:00 AM EDT



It's Haiku time. Actually, it's past Haiku time but there was a whole lot going on this week.

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:

Budget strategy

Send up to Christie
See what sticks and what comes back
Negotiate after

Next topic: The Wrath of Sweeney

The Wrath of Sweeney (0.00 / 0)
Steve says he's angry
Blue Jersey sees through it
Like his shiny scalp.

Next topic: NJ TV

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.


NJTV (0.00 / 0)
Derivative crap
Hosted by a boss' son
Isn't good for Jerz.

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

Sorry (0.00 / 0)
Next topic: Nordubato

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

OK...in my best Yoda voice... (4.00 / 1)
Bad for New Jersey
An unholy alliance
Nordubato is.

Next topic: Veto overide


[ Parent ]
My first go at Haiku. Veto Override: (4.00 / 3)
Acts after the play
none get a bouquet
an empty theatre

Next Topic: Education Reform


[ Parent ]
#edreform (4.00 / 2)
Wall streeters lick chops
Finally foot in the door.
We will eat you all.

Wow. (0.00 / 0)


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

[ Parent ]
Sweeney Creed (4.00 / 2)
my plan is insane
And my response is profane
Now I'm Christie's bitch  

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



It's Sunday (0.00 / 0)
And I'm still laughing at this one.

But it needs a next topic. So, I'll do it: Lightning.

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


[ Parent ]
No Trenton Thunder. (0.00 / 0)
Flash! and a Kab-OOm!
I cower at the power.
Feigning standing tall.

We're going to have to do haiku more often. You people are forgetting to give yourselves the privilege of naming the topic for the next poet. So I will:

Next topic: Veto override.

Veto Override (0.00 / 0)
Quixotic venture.
