Haiku Friday

by: Rosi Efthim

Fri Jul 15, 2011 at 02:35:44 PM EDT



It's been a really craptastic week: Various forms of budget fallout, both dastardly bullshit and mini-moments of inspiration. Diane Allen's weird Senate behavior. Fesh corruption stories from Ritacco 'n Dwek. Sweeney's new certainty Christie's running for 2012 Prez. Christie's Cheney-style secret "undisclosed location". Redistricting. Remaking NJ education. Whatevs.

Remember the rules? 5 syllables, then 7, and 5 again. Write your verse based on the suggestion given, then suggest the topic for the next poet. Extra credit for linking to a Blue Jersey post, or news article. OK, I'll start:

Diane Allen, Senate Budget Veto Override Sessions, July 11-12, 2011
Flickering pixels
Captivating screen of mine
Christie in my head

Next Topic: Pick the Democratic Nominee for Gov, 2013
