Putrid Spores Depart
On Fetid Currents To Drift
In Search Of Innocent Hosts
Don’t quit you day job.
Seppuku..................
INVASION
Dusty western winds
Carrying Dreamers behind
Marxism is here
I certainly agree with you.
New Yorkers Flee

“.....fleeing like the rats they are, only to bring their world view and voting habits to infect my state like cancer cells.”.......
Precisely why I left Colorado back in the early to mid 80’s. It was like an invasion of moving vans coming in every day, bringing in disgruntled Kalifornikians and political “baggage”, which we can plainly see, has ruin a one great place to live.
Came to read about the news
But some clicks take me elsewhere
Such as this Haiku
Too many syllables to be a haiku.
That’s not Haiku.
.
LOL, how on earth can we as Westerners write bad haiku???
This has always been a puzzle to me. All we have to do is get the pentameter right, somehow make it make sense using whatever twisted logic we use, and voila!
Haiku!
Haiku’s need to be 5/7/5 syllables. “New hosts” would work.
(mine was wrong too)
As a refugee in GA from the oppression in Illinois, I take care in watching the people moving in. Every week near me an apartment building of over 100 apartments is finished construction and people moving in. Plenty of license plates from IL, MI, OH, PA, NJ and a few from other states North of GA.
These people are not inherently bad. They came here to work because this is where the jobs are. They are pro work, anti welfare. In inner city Atlanta precincts East of me that have people who moved in 3 to 5 years ago, those precincts voted 75-80% for Clinton. But they voted 55-60% for the white Republican candidate for mayor against a Black Democrat candidate who made party the #1 issue in her campaign. So they are swing voters who can be convinced.
Democrats cannot take them for granted and Republicans/Conservatives should not write them off. But the GA GOP does seem to write them off and assume that Republicans are wasting their time in this mixed mostly Black area.
Republicans writing them off and ignoring them will make them resent the Republican label. People don’t like to be slighted. We create our own problems.
Traditional haiku has 17 syllables, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5.
Yours has 19, in phrases of 5, 7 and 7 syllables.
Also, trad haiku has a “cut”, where the ending presents a turn from the drift of the first part. Yours just goes on describing one image.
Keep trying, though.
On education,
Not a lost generation,
But a lost country.
