All are good! The first is hard hitting. You are so good at haikuing!
ReplyDeleteI see recount and I think one thing: Florida, now the movie
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me with the ease you do these
Ooh very topical!
ReplyDeleteWow, how do you do so many of these, so easily?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pia: I saw recount and thought of Florida. (OK, and old people.)
The first was very cutting - and current.
ReplyDeleteI love the second one, but they all are great. You are the Haiku extraordinaire.
ReplyDeleteOne great Haiku after another :))
ReplyDeleteYou asked a while back for some thoughts on what you can do with the Marrow Manor poems, and I have been thinking about it because I really like them.
ReplyDeleteIt just dawned on me this morning that the 2008 Newbery winning book is written in a similar format. I don't own the book, but here's a link to get further info:

I hope it gives you some ideas....
:-)
The link got cut off.
ReplyDeleteJust google "Newbery Winner 2008" or go to the ALA website and scroll around.
...here in the inland northwest it is still raining and snowing... excellent kuz
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! These may look effortless, but that's only because you don't see the waste paper basket that's full. (Actually, it's a bit bucket since I compose electronically.)
ReplyDeletepia and tc, I also was thinking Florida. That haiku was of the historical genre.
