The Rude Pundit: End of the Year Haiku Submissions

Since 2004, the Rude Pundit has ended every year with a whisper in a series of simple haiku. He'll be doing that again this week, and he's once again opening this up to rude readers to contribute their own three line, five-syllable, seven-syllable, five-syllable poems to reflect on this grand and awful year.

Here's an example:
My 401K
Is a sheet of blank paper
Against a white wall.

Submit yours to rudepundit_at_yahoo(dot)com. The best will be posted on Wednesday or Thursday.

4. Closing Time War

Look back at Iraq
With a post-coital tristesse
Quiet, you'll wake her

6. I love the RP, and this is one of the funniest traditions,

but calling that a "haiku" is incorrect. Three must be a reference to nature or one of the seasons in order for it to be a true haiku.

Like this:

If I live too long
Spring will bring another Bush.
I hope I die first.

See?

7. Ok. nature...

Some bushes bring fruit.
One Bush brought nothing but thorns.
May he wither now!

Autumn leaves fall fast
But not as fast as the banks
Where's our money gone?

Elephants ran wild
For eight years; now all of us
Must never forget.
