Haiku Challenge Result

 

Yesterday's Haiku Challenge met with spirited participation and good results, seeing a number of excellent offerings in this perennially popular verse form. Ed's submission was most terse, a simple, unadorned emoji:

Yes, sometimes a picture's worth a thousand words. That said, Red's woodsman sent in not one but two excellent haikus. Here, have a look:

Obama Biden

note the master and puppet.

Obama Harris?

And again:

Wolves prey on the weak

The generous are naive

We need more woodsmen.

Wow, what can we say. Keep it coming, woodsman, simply outstanding. Wild wasn't short off the mark either:

Arrests they promised.

Impatient Yoda grows, hmmm?

Well? Waiting we are.

Yes, we are. Beauty, you see, meets truth. And then there's LL, who sums the whole thing up in an act of poetic Zen. Behold:

Concentrated mist

clear jewel on a leafpoint

drip, the river begins.

Beautiful, and keen-eyed readers will note LL's riff on my initial, let's get the haikus rolling, offering, "mist." What is this, some kind of poetry jam? Apparently, and I'll throw one more into the ring:

Kier Starmer is sad

He lost at the ballot box

Teeth gnash in darkness.

Excellent haikus from everyone and congrats to woodsman for prolix versifying. But I have to say LL is the winner. Good work, Mr. Wolf, you win this initial and coveted LSP Haiku award.

Cheers,

LSP

Fine Art America

 

What great art, produced in our very own country. Has there been a finer American commander and gentleman? I don't think so, but feel free to disagree.

In other news, 45 didn't seem to do so well against the Cackling Whore last night and seemed tired and off his game. Am I wrong? The Whore, on the other hand, was lively, tip-top and full of whorish sneers. No word salad for this whore, just sharp talking points delivered through earphones masquerading as earrings and a Disney ABC interlocutor who refused to confront her loose woman lies.

Will the nation be fooled? Who knows. Will we produce another Lee or someone like him? Perhaps courage will rise to danger and we will. In the meanwhile, things don't look too bright, pray that changes, perhaps the fate of the world is in the balance.

Cheers,
