Governor Palin Haiku's - copyr Don Bassman, 2008
#001
Against your allure,
in normal circumstances,
I have no defense.
#002
tipped canoe got tiled
old zachary was filled more
and what about abe?
#003
Metamorphasize
if the mantle of power
ever covers you
#004
Wonderful Haiku
the rough words conveniently
take a proper form
#005
echolailiaech
olailiaecholailia
What was that you said?
#006
one for me and you
one for my associates
one for the devil
#007
Nixons right-hand heirs -
environment pollution
taints what it touches
#008
Opportunity
wafts through our nations spirit
like a garden rose
#009
come down Buck-a-roo
leaves of grass lay all around
many years have passed
#a
just like an old hen
I lay one egg every day
Bok Bok cluck old hen
#010
Marx stirred on the news
the continental divide
had split asunder
#011
The train to nowhere
sped past the station on time
her blue lights flashing
#b
the stag was wounded
blood trickled from his nostril
onto the white snow
#c
the dealer was sharp
the deck was stacked against me
the dice were loaded
#d
Can I have a loan?
Your personal profile sucks.
Sorry too risky.
#e
many leagues we traveled
our sleek ship followed the breeze
the wrong direction
#016
monopolist wire
connects through vital lifelines
back to the king's house
#017
The magic forest
could not be found so I wept
in the gloomy shade
#018
John is my hero
Barack my lamp joe my sage
Sarah is my muse
#019
Foreign policy
without decency is like
Justice without teeth
#020
my fascination
exceeds my appalation
for reasons unknown
#021
What brilliant flower
will manufacture the seeds
of its destruction?
#022
The M4 chattered
Mother and daughter perished
in each others arms
#023
Wall Street gave 3 cheers
The defender was brought low
Let the good times roll
#024
The wild-eyed stallion
bucked and plunged maddened with fear
by the riders spurs
#025 (revised)
Nobody could see
the force of chain reaction
would unleash a bomb
#026 (revised)
my feeder is frail
my cows dine at the table
a circle of peace
#027 (revised)
Gently the boat tossed
The Orca reconsidered
" - not now - bad PR">
#028
It's Finality.
The whistle blows but no cheers
- must be a tie game.

Special Guest Haiku, by Jack Kerouac
Hitch hiked a thousand
miles and brought
You wine

#029 (nov 4, 2008)
8 grey years gone by
its a stumble, not a fall
in the words of abe
