Darn Sbenois, I thought
All clever meta-posters
Never threaten harm

Don't think so much
It leads to wrong assumptions
Let's forget it.

Is the clash over?
Who won, who is the loser?
Will the truth be known?

The bathroom calls me
I must purge my waste remains
Where is the paper?

3 0 4 P M,
I hope that's not an omen?
Crapy deal if true.

Giant icicle
Hangs from the roof. If it fell,
It could impale you.

And now for you all,
the haiku rendering of
my earlier post


Gaze in the mirror.
Nowadays, what do you see?
Insecurity?

Bush was selected
By the U S A Supremes
Then he took office

The economy,
already oh so bad off
began to get worse

Then nine eleven.
Eight short months into his term.
Our lives all changed.

A nation mourned
Three thousand perished, why?
Because we all slept

Two years down the road
Too many asleep again
Have you forgotten?

Do you recall them?
They rose to up the heavens
They crashed to earth

They were shining stars
In the coldest, darkest nights
Holding our neighbors.

A terrible day
Never to be repeated
Unless we let it.

The President tries
to protect our families
In these troubled times

Sadly, some embrace
The notion that politics
Is the utmost game.

Here on MOL,
and in South Orange today,
Some have forgotten

Why bother Saddam?
Let us give him some more time
What is the big rush?


For twelve odd years now
He has been playing a game
It is a big joke

He toys with weapons
That can kill thousands again
That is why George cares.

It is NOT for oil
Surely not to avenge dad
It is for safety

Our Tom derides Bush
For his unfair discharges
Yet he pardons Bill.

Drew Dix is upset
He wants a future vision
While Bush deals with now.

Can MOL folks
Please, just this once, cast aside
Political pride?

Hussein may kill us
(Without checking our party)
Then Dems will BLAME Bush.

Wake up citizens!
We must disarm Iraq NOW
Time to lend support!

Gaze in the mirror.
Nowadays, what do you see?
Your complacency?

Good morning dear S
I see you have done your work.
I support your thoughts.

Listen up you fools.
Think of the consequences.
Time is getting short!

Stand up, be counted!
The best of us are there now,
waiting for the word.

Truth and factual.
Please leave all your fears behind.
Save America!

Think of your children.
God helps those that help themselves.
Lets stand together...

Sbenois my friend
what a thought provoking post
I hope all listen

The anti-war folks
maybe have the right intent,
but the wrong action

Put your energy
in your loved ones and country
Godspeed to George Bush

Save your politics
for the soapbox if you please

I saw “It” last night
I’ll never see “It” again
“It” closed the same day.

Bright red cardinals
Peering down at deep white snow
From Spring’s first young twig

Haiku reins supreme
In the lands where less is more
And time is precious

American Sedoka
Eternal Truth In Ancient Form
by: E.H. Goellner


Limbs opening wide,
exposing the source of life,
waiting for seeds to enter.

Passion at its peak,
through lust we reach creation,
through explosive force, new life.
