The haiku thread
The haiku thread
here's one I read in a parenting mag.
Excuse me loses
its effectiveness when it's
shouted fifteen times.

no evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power... Green Lantern's light!"

haha.
Before I share mine, here's a little background:
There's this local radio variety show that is taped at this cool theater in Portland. One thing that they always do is to have the audience write haikus before the show and then they choose their favorite 3 to read on air. The first time I went to the show with my family, it was a week after the 2004 election. My dad wrote this:
Bush re-elected.
Divine retribution for
Complacent lefties?
Needless to say, it was read on-air and got a huge laugh.
None of us has ever had another haiku read.

The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

I read each haiku
To find extra syllables
No one fails so far
It takes Alea
To bring back this lovely thread
Be grateful for her
Truly I will do
Anything to avoid work
Even write haiku
