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

How about "He hears a noise above him, BOOM?"

Now it's 8 syllables.

When you're stuck in a hole, stop digging. ;-)

Time ticks faster for you now
The face grows silent

Sorry, screwed up the last line. Here's the fixed version:

Osama bin Laden:
Wish you were here. See you soon.
Kiss, kiss. America.

noise is one syllable

Not if you have a southern accent!

Then it's three syllables.

Death Star on desert
Brave troopers stalk the land
Justice versus cruelty.

Bin Laden runs away
Courageous men strongly pound
F@*%ing bastard dead!

I learned to speak Spanish (1st year) at a school in the south. Did you ever hear Spanish spoken with a southern drawl? Neither did my 2nd-year Spanish teacher in, San Diego. ;-)
