Political haiku for a change of pace:
Hurricane’s over,
but the political storm
is never-ending.

Political storms always seem to be locked into an endless cycle. No seasonal relief!
truer words were never “spoke”!
Oh, if only this haiku weren’t true!! The blah,blah, blah is enough to make me want to give up listening to it. Oh, wait I think I will.
May it never end! Dominance of one voice is deadening!
Well, it has 5-7-5, but not much else of a Haiku. Definitely a Senryū ! A good one.
Short and sweet — love the short and sweet.
Isn’t that the truth!
Sabio, interesting, I didn’t realize there was such a thing as a Senryū! (I just looked up the difference!) I think we need a whole new category that is political!
Thanks so much, everyone for your lovely comments.
And yes Sabio I agree that calling it senryu would be far more accurate. My problem is that whenever I reference senryu, most people have no idea what I’m talking about. :)
political storms seem to have no end. no relief here.
Very true, Meenakshi!
