    My U.S. Presidential Election 2008 Haiku thread...

    Since I want to buy my new PSU tomorrow - (I've got the money and I need my DVD burner) - I need to get my post count up. But I need to do it in a NICE way, so...

    I was reading the Swampland blog at Time magazine, and someone started off writing Haiku about the Election. Although not all of the haiku were 'true' - (true haiku has three lines, with 5/7/5 syllables in each) - (my early ones certainly wern't) - someone complained and so I concentrated on writing proper ones - (or at least I THINK they're all true - not sure). I even managed a few which were on topic for the actual blog post itself - (talking about Obama's chances of taking Arizona - (McCain's home state)).

    Since I have currently written 51 haiku, I'm going to post them 3 at a time...

    I'll start with the 3 about Arizona:

    Flagstaff to Phoenix
    Decisions are to be made
    Elephant or Mule?

    Democrats will rise
    In Phoenix from the ashes
    The fire burns McCain

    Arizona war
    A fight for votes there will be
    McCain under fire

    aww... You don't like my poetry then - I had a look at this section and it didn't seem to have much to do with being on topic - i.e.compooter stuff, so...???

    I missed that last post about telling me to stop - sry - I'll stop now... I could have stuck all 51 in one post if you'd have preferred I suppose?

    You can post them all in one post if you must. But I doubt anyone would reply... other than "lol wtf"

    Re: My U.S. Presidential Election 2008 Haiku thread...

    I DID call the thread what it is for a reason, lol - I am of course assuming that people round here know what Haiku is??

    TBH - I thought that 51 in one post would have been too much - dunno if there's a size limit/line length or anything?

    You *do* realise that double/triple posting again in the same thread isn't going to win you any favours

    This thread's going to be canned anyway.. so to hell with spamming in it

    Re: My U.S. Presidential Election 2008 Haiku thread...

    I'm replying to one post at a ttime as they come with the quick reply system - now you're telling me I can't do that?

    anyway - here's the rest (hoping it works):

    McCain fights to end
    He must know it’s now lost
    Running out of time

    Obama talks
    A speech for common people
    The crowd is massive

    Ugly scenes there are
    Racist tongues they have displayed
    Palin does nothing

    Governor Palin
    Has been announced by McCain
    Shallow people glad

    Vice president
    A nomination there is
    Biden, senator

    Pennsylvania,
    A battleground, it will be
    McCain is hoping

    Nobel Laureates
    Obama have endorsed
    Leave science alone

    McCain lies again
    Obama’s position, wrong
    Mine workers defend

    Sixty-thousand drawn
    Obama in Columbus
    It’s his best speech yet

    Palin spreads lies,
    Tape is non-existent
    Drudge is at fault

    Cheney endorses
    His help is not welcome here
    McCain in trouble

    Tina Fey is good
    Copies Palin speech alright
    Palin is funny

    Obama leads
    Ten point lead in Gallup poll
    McCain misery

    Three men in the wrong
    Assassinate Obama
    They thought they would try

    Candy for children
    Children who support McCain
    Obama no good

    Obama was born
    On Islands of Hawaii
    American man

    I, Ronald Reagan
    Endorse Barack Obama
    McCain is lost

    Of terrorism
    McCain attacks Obama
    Hypocrisy wins

    In Joe the plumber
    McCain has found a symbol
    Illegal search

    Barack Obama
    Gets all wet in Quakertown
    Thousands still watch

    Lip-stick on a pig
    If you put, it’s still a pig
    Palin’s not the pig

    Palin’s gone rogue
    Not listening to McCain
    Next election now

    One hundred thousand
    In Denver for Obama
    Even more, they say

    Alaska pipeline
    Palin’s process was unfair
    Links to company

    Can Obama win?
    Georgia seems so far away
    It’s getting closer?

    Palin’s clothes are great
    Were paid for by her campaign
    Charity will get?

    McCain has problem
    Powell has made a decision
    Gone for Obama

    (Ok, so one thread would have been enough - sorry ).
