So, I got a little bit of writer’s block and tried my hand at writing haiku to get the creative juices flowing again. Not sure why I wound up with a political theme, but that;s what happened. Two, I think, are worth sharing, or at least not so bad as to hide under the rug and deny them for all eternity.
An American Election
politicians pose
media laps it up like milk
public pays the price
November (an Aftermath)
commit a crime here
i dare you, dare you, dare you
no one cares anyway
Let me know what you think.
(P.S. the lack of punctuation and capitalization is on purpose. Just thought I’d mention, as it would drive me nuts if I read it and wasn’t sure.)
