A catastrophe
I blame you and you blame me
We, blame media

School grounds for divorce
Video game valentine
Bloody mess, lockdown

Springtime U.S.A.
Between Iraq and hard place
Distraction du jour



Haiku syllables:

1-2-3-4-5
1-2-3-4-5-6-7

10. No, the last haiku.
1,2,3,4,5
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
1,2,3,4,5

"7" has two syllables. Thus a total of eight.

:P

And now, more sorrow?
Better when it was all just
Imus and Rosie.

7. Ohhh, haikus. I can be set the rest of the night!
Bloody April, damp
with children's life source drenching
Baghdad. Countries mourn.
---------------------------------------

American culture
idolizes gleaming glocks
until students die.

---------------------------------------

"Carnage in College"
sounds like a B movie name;
reality TV.



(Don't get me started, I can do haikus all night!)

16. If you ever want a haiku player
just come tell me :)


I can do limericks, too, but I LOVVVVVE haikus :)



Do you ever play with Acrostics?


Bringing death to thousands in a
Useless surge
Say it ain't so - -
He is here another year.

Read the letters DOWN in the first column.

11. I'm in!
Such sorrow we see.
Such pain that flows through our hearts.
Children and soldiers...

Taken before their
Time, leaving holes in our souls.
When will it all end?

Can peace prevail?
Can love truly conquer all?
I believe it can.

21. Thanks...and I mean it. I am 51, my wife and I don't recognize
what we've become as a country. And I suspect that Bush is just as much an evolutionary outcome of our culture as much as one of the root causes of the problem.

Must sober up first

30. eehh...... trying...-
...this isn't easy-



Cats lay curled up tight
Comfort comes in simple things
Rain has summoned birds





Each new death reminds
Sorrow's loyalty never ends
lets just say good-night






Hold your own hand now
cupped against the wind, someday
death will steal your flame







Lessons learned in school
we all will sing the low notes
dressed in weary words




:eyes:




time to hang it up
darkness bleeds into the day
putting out the light


:eyes:






peace,
blu

39. Some more, but not happy ones...
Such madness we see.
Writings and anger and hate.
Such terrible hate...

A young man in pain,
Tortured, twisted, darkened soul.
Filled with so much hate.

Sadness fills my heart.
Painful tears sting at my eyes.
So much suffering...
