I’m still laughing at the Mitt Romney one.

Where are the obligatory references to features of the natural world that every haiku is s’posed to have?

Well, Imus’ used “turkey necked”, British teacher’s used “bear” & Evel’s had “Snake River Canyon”. Hillary’s & Barack’s had “skin” (that’s of the natural world). Only Rudy’s, Mitt’s & the mortgage lack natural references, right? And you could argue that Rudy’s “America” and Mitt’s “sons” count.

Maybe? No. Well, I tried to defend your poetic musing Sarcastro!

I think that Snake River Canyon probably counts.

Not to be picky but I thought a Haiku was distinguishable by it’s pattern of syllables … 5, 7, 5 or something like that.

I know Haiku. This isn’t Haiku.

SoBeale, they ARE 5-7-5.

“Mayor” may throw you, but some places in the world (like the midwest) it’s pronounced as a 1 syllable word. For which I let that slide. The rest are all 5 7 5.

“You have five adult sons” = 6, in my book.

nm, last time I checked we did not live apart from nature. We are not supernatural or extra-natural or even Natural Lite. Though we no longer live in a state of nature, or thankfully the state of Wisconsin, we the living are a part of nature.

Beale,
Not to be picky
The rest of your comment proves this to be a lie. If not picky, then what? Pedantic? Difficult? Fussy? Persnickety?
Is ‘twatty’ a word?

Either you know something or you don’t. Thinking you know something isn’t quite the same. Not to, you know, be picky. Or twatty.

Catboy, if you pronounce it “Aaa-Dult”, then it is indeed a syllable too far.

It should be “grown” instead of “adult” in either case.

OMFG! Anachronisto, failing to conjure a one-syllable uttering of “adult” is forced to admit a fuck-up! Sell your worldly goods! Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!

SB: It is haiku and, it’s “its”, not “it’s.”

Picky and twatty

JP, I thought you were on some sort of self-imposed exile from here.

My exile is sort of like your idea of “hyperlocality.”
