Gore haiku

[SallyMander]

Despite being pounded for it elsewhere on DU, i'm still optimistic about a possible Gore presidency. With that in mind, I thought I'd start a thread for "Run, Al, Run!" haikus for those who are like-minded (and equally bored/nerdy, lol).

Maybe this will drop like a rock, but if not it'll be funny! ;-)

I'll start...



Save our great green globe
Author's impact amplified
Oval office Al

[Xipe Totec]

1. Here's mine

Reluctant leader
answer the call of duty
your people need you.

[RevCheesehead]

2. OK.

Please, Al Gore, please run.
Be our next great president.
If you don't I'll cry.

[fooj]

3. I've got one.

A true patriot
Restoring the Rule of Law
Planet and Country.

4. I've got one.

A true patriot
Restoring the Rule of Law
Country and Planet.

5. .....

[fooj]

6. 5-7-5 syllables...

:hi:

[kwyjibo]

7. close... 5-7-5 syllables

[SallyMander]

8. you can just add "hell yeah!" to the end of each line

:D

Edited to add... just realized i miscounted. But hey, it would still be catchy.

9. works for me! Hell yeah!!!! (times 3) n/t

[KamaAina]

10. Here goes...

President Al Gore,
Your country needs you to run
for another term!

(P.S. All election-related 5-7-5 verse is true haiku, not senryu, because the election theme is a reference to the season of autumn.)

[SallyMander]

13. that's really interesting --

So does each season have its own name? Or just autumn vs. non-autumn?

[KamaAina]

14. True haiku are supposed to contain a reference to a season

any season will do. Non-seasonal 5-7-5 verse is called senryu.

[Ron Green]

11. ...

I thought you were weak
When they stole the election
Oh, how wrong I was!

[Parche]

12. Hi koo

Roses are red
violets are blue
Al Gore is the best :rofl: :hi:
