I decided to ask a good friend to help contribute to Hot Political Mess with her wonderful political haikus.
I haven't worked on a haiku since I was a school kid and had to check my trusty wikipedia resource to refresh my memory of a haiku. Wikipedia says a haiku is "a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively, and typically containing a kigo, or seasonal reference. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to equate to the Japanese haiku's three metrical phrases".
Stay tuned for some fun and an introduction of the contributor!
