Step One

 

 

Today we march up

Dusty road of destiny

God speed, our best hope

 

 

Rogue

by Kelly – web submission

 

McCain made his bed

Perhaps for Palin to lie

Miss Calculation

Conserving America

 

Smiling, open both eyes

Don’t hold your nose, speak freely

Smell the rose of hope


Change?

Three haiku about John McCain and Barack Obama campaign from DailyKos user Swiller.

“we’re voting for the n***er” 
see bubba evolve

mcbroke robocalls 
palling with the terrorist 
phone fear fascism

letterman i screwed 
up and down and back and forth

The red maple leaves

now are falling one by one-

at last the blue sky

 

 

From CQ Politics

Double Feature Obama Haiku

I cross posted some haiku over at Daily Kos last night – in the comments we got several outstanding contributions to the genre which I will be sharing over the next few days.  Go read the comments when you have chance – they are pretty hilarious.

These first two are from user renovation.  Titles, links, and images were added by me.


Insert Foot

A broken toilet:

from Bachmann’s mouth – a shitstorm

Joe Plumber can’t help


 

 

De-meaner

Grouchy McFreaky

twitching, blinking, scowling, stop!

Barack, you’re so cool

Cheshire Grin

 

A world upside down

Grease the wheels with your own sweat

We laugh, then we vote


Labor

 

Springtime for class war

Wall Street goons won’t go lightly

Their season is gone


Debatable

 

 

“Heh heh heh”, “my friends”

Beavis meets Grampa Simpson

Angry, tired, sad
