Terrible haiku
Ben Wolfson
The imperialist lies
Amid fallen leaves
It's against the war, y'see.

The haiku may be terrible, but the commentary is EXCELLENT! More poets
should do this.
Here are some more examples of what is possible through the power of
POEM COMMENTARY!

Is that how that is supposed to go? I haven't read any Hemmingway since
high school. Actually, i think I just read the Cliff's Notes.

In a bombed out building
The despot's sons lie
Amid burning rubble
It's for the the war, y'see.
Ding Dong,
The sons of the bitch are dead.
One Ace left
It's against Saddam, y'see?

Which war? The war is OVER d00d! And I heard that they killed the
Hussein boys AGAIN today, so you can't try to pretend that the war
is still on! Why do you hate AMERICA?

Knee jerk analysis: the Trvth, like a cured meat substitute,
is best when it's drained on a paper towel. The penguin
is the personification of Death.

I think he wishes it was WWI, that's the last time Chicago won a World
Series.

Oooh, can we bring them back to life, so we can kill them a few more
times?

If I had to live in a jerk-water-burgh like Chicago, I'd probably hate
America, too.
