Osama Bin Laden Haiku Contest
http://cc.matsuyama-u.ac.jp/~shiki/Start-Writing.html ^ | me

Posted on 09/21/2001 8:02:18 AM PDT by Sir Gawain

Ok, you don't win anything, but I thought it might be fun to make up some Haiku about Bin Laden, the Taliban, terrorists, or anything related.

Here's the rules:

3-short lines
no rhyme or metaphor
(17 syllables, 5-7-5)

I'll go first:

Bin Laden smiling
He hears a noise above
Pretty mushroom cloud

Sorry, but your second line is one syllable shy, it's only 6.

Not so easy, is it! We southerners draw out words. So noise is two syllables down here.

I thought the extra syllable would come from "He-errs".
