15. Thanks!
Haiku are my favorite type of poem. Back in high school, I used to write haiku on homework telling the teacher that the homework sucked. Luckily, they appreciated my poems enough not to take it out of my grade. :)

19. I did
I've always liked poetry though. My junior year English teacher really got me into Haiku. I'm still grateful to her. My economics teacher during senior year loved them. But if anyone would, it would be him. He allowed all the students to call him 'Smitty' instead of Mr. Smith.

11. Cat Haiku...a couple of faves
In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt.

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

14. Some Bushy Haiku I found...
From http://www.democrats.org/blog/display/00010163.html

Preppy cheerleader
Pretends to be working man
But nothing's working.

I pledge allegiance
to the United States of
Halliburton, Inc.

20. Bush
Edited on Wed Sep-22-04 07:05 PM by shylock1579
Economy woes
Looking for a new job sucks
Want some fries with that

Tax cuts add to debt
Wow, thanks, a couple hundred
Yeah, that'll save me

Terrorists abroad
Take heed, we will come get you
And now, watch this drive

Bush believes in God
Like militants in Islam
God chooses no side

Great choice, that Iraq
Who wants world peace, anyway
My car craves cheap gas

Just my first attempts
Tried to be original
Sorry if I'm not

21. Ode to Hannity and Colmes
Ode to Hannity and Colmes, Haiku style

Sean spews stale hot air
Alan lets him does not care
Bias yes on Fox

That's probably a horrible Haiku.

23. a motley group of haiku

Condi Rice may say
She is a single woman
Only for the Chimpster...

Colin Powell a man
Tortured by his principles

To flush DC's crap!

24. My Mother just got back from Burning Man...
If you don't know what it is... take 25,000 people, put them in the middle of a desert with two porta pottys for a week, and well, there ya go... Anyway, this Haiku is thanks to Betsy and is taken out of PissClear, the "official" newspaper of Burning Man...

Port-a-potty line
Hot sun, the queue
barely moves
Yeah, I pee myself

I dunno why but I just cracked up when I read that...

27. adventures in modern politicking
Ape-man licks lips
Crowned chimp falls off throne
National shame

Israel, U.S.
U.K., ally to form
a New World Odor

A great Chimpire rose
Middle East, 3rd World, Asia,
arms merchants, PNAC!
