Haiku the Sunday New York Times

Polish President
Tragic death with all his friends
Country in mourning

Interest rates rising
Refinance now if you can
Only going up

Retiring justice
John Paul Stevens leaves a slot
Can the parties choose?

James Cameron in
Volta Grande Do Xingu (don't you just love how that's seven syllables?)
Greed versus nature

The topic of his
Visit to the Brazilians
He feels called to act.

Yay Phil Mickleson
Shining Master's champion
What a great story.
**okay, that wasn't in the NYT yesterday because it hadn't happened yet, but it was definitely worth a mention...

NFL questions?
Women lead the great debate.
Fight for workman's comp.

Other Georgia course
Augusta Municipal
Great traditions,too.

Have a great day, everyone. Haiku your own news. It's National Poetry Month!

Monday-Time to Haiku the News!

Daylight savings time
Threw our family for a loop
Longer days to come.

Why is it front page
News when people take on debt?
American way.

Of course, that's why we're
In this mess. But let's not act
Surprised. How's that news?

Don't hang around the
Texas border. Mexicans
with guns. Will use them.

Speeding Lexus risk
Now they all have an excuse
To fly on past me.

New surfing takes flight.
Less on water, more in air.
Cool new tricks to come.

My son is home sick
Wicked cold. It came on fast.
Hope he's better soon.

Computers crashing
All around me. Two this week.
Nervously writing.

Have a great Monday! Haiku the news of your own! Check in with you tomorrow to announce the Urinelle winner! Woo Hoo!

Haiku the Sunday NY Times!

Scientology.
Always knew those folks were strange
Defectors talk. Wow.

Heartless thief steals shoes
From grievers. Cinderella
Solution kicks in.

Were your shoes stolen?
Korean victims come and
Try. They fit? You keep.


David Axelrod
Rough times for him. He's struggling.
Misses home for sure.

Rhode Island school board
Fires a school full of teachers.
Sorry, your school sucks.

First female marines
Trained to help with Afghan girls
Headed for war zone.

Travel section calls
Tuscany without the crowds
Looks just like heaven.

Okay, I could do that all day, but I'll take you out of your misery. It's a great exercise to get your brain going in the morning. Give it a shot. One week I'll do the Chowan Herald. That'll really crack you up. It'll probably go something like this.

Tourist speeding. Stopped.
Tax money for our town. Hooray!
Lord knows we need it.

I'm *still* waiting for OM pics to be sent to me, so I can post them for you. I've got a big writing day today. Hope you can stretched your creativity this morning. No matter what you do, you'll be better for it! Have a terrific day!
