I've tried but I suck at haiku.

1. here is a lame attempt

Sarah Heath Palin
Governor of Alaska
Unelectable

[ogneopasno]

2. Here's mine

The interview starts.
"In what respect, Charlie?" Her
voice makes my dog barf.

[Jeroen]

20. Nice!

[KansDem]

3. Here's mine...

Hockey Mom, Pit bull
"What's the difference between?"
Palin says "lipstick"

[clydefrand]

4. Here's my take on her

Who's Sarah Palin,
An Alaskan wolf killer
Unfit for office

[BurtWorm]

5. Mine

"Putin rears his head"
"I'll have to go find one for
ya"--Vetted, my ass!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. My stab

Prejudice lives on
Coupled with fear and terror
Vote McCain/Palin

[MNBrewer]

7. Mine, too

Beauty queen answers.
Fundamentalist drivel.
Keep her, Alaska!

[ColbertWatcher]

8. My first haiku ...

Republicans say:
"Old and fundy mavricks care"
Diebold picks for us.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. remorse

From Fairbanks to Nome
All of Alaska wishes
He'd picked someone else

[alfredo]

10. Great stuff guys.

Palin is spinning
forgot that lying is sin.
Tundra trash truth free

palin and lipstick
who does she think she's fooling
horny old men and fascist

these are the first two
I've ever written. Oh well
don't quit my day job.

[chelsea0011]

11. Here's a try

A pick from neck down
A woodie made me do it
Should have picked my nose

[Warpy]

31. OK, I give up

That one said it all.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. Another one ...

Melanoma cheeks
Lost, confused, speaking in tongues
What they offer US

[east texas lib]

13. OK...

Palin floats adrift
Like cherry petals now stripped
By the winds of change

[jazzjunkysue]

24. Beautiful, but lacking crashiness...

[east texas lib]

32. Yeah, I probably ought to stick to my day job!

:D

[yewberry]

14. A couple:

Poor, trapped on rooftops,
Bloated corpses in the streets:
McCain had some cake.



Arctic sea ice gone,
North Pole an island now.
Our world in whose hands?

[alfredo]

16. Boy aren't you the cheerful one

;)

[yewberry]

19. Mmmmaybe.

Actually, I'm having a really lovely day today. Guess you'd never know it from my post!

[alfredo]

23. I just had a nice ale, so I'm happy.

American Ale
Makes me giggle belch and fart
What's for dinner hon

[jazzjunkysue]

25. Words to live by.

<snif>

[alfredo]

28. Hell yes. I have one beer a night. I select my beers carefully, seeking out

the best American craft beers. Needed a hobby when I retired.

[alfredo]

15. nuther

Gigit and Geezer
McCain picks Palin his Veep
my wrists are bleeding

[anigbrowl]

17. I was feeling creative.

My friends, meet Sarah:
With her aid I'll stoke the fires
of your discontent

Draped with Old Glory
Cross in hand, she sells a creed
Fascism, in gift-wrap.

Spoonful of sugar
doesn't hide the bitter taste
vote down hate and fear

[jazzjunkysue]

27. Fascism, in gift-wrap.!!!! Incredible!

:beer:

[Jeroen]

18. An old heart beats no more

High up in Alaska lonely babies cry
An old heart beats no more
Burning cities melting snow

[juno jones]

21. For what it's worth...

putin rears his head
my witchhunter protects
see it from my house

[jazzjunkysue]

22. Tragically torn, The bright, shiny red balloon snags on the outhouse.

[alfredo]

26. This is fun

Palin tapped by John
Her ignorance on display
race to the bottom

[countingbluecars]

29. I tried some.

Never ending war
To hell with diplomacy
McCain has spoken.

Dinosaurs and men
Once roamed young earth together
Science by Sarah.

Self proclaimed mavericks
Denying women a choice
That's McCain-Palin

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. I can never pass up a Haiku challenge

Blood and Guts Palin
Mediocrity Embraced
Heaven help us all

[alfredo]

33. Now make a palindrome haiku

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. Sadist

:rofl:

[alfredo]

35. I can't even get my mind around that one.

Found one:

postmodern haiku
is better than "better" -- is
haiku postmodern?

Not really a Palindrome like UFOTOFU.

[burythehatchet]

36. Dingy yellow teeth...weak stream and problems going...nurse palin's first shift

[alfredo]

37. I think we have a winner.

[xocet]

38. Thanks - however ?

Thank you for the heads-up on the contest. If The Nation is going to publish the winning entries, though, should people be publishing/posting their entries here?

Any feedback on this sort of an issue would definitely be welcome: I don't know the publishing industry.

:shrug:

[alfredo]

39. I don't see a problem. You will probably have a subscription to see them.

If anything, it brings more eyes to their site.

This old business owner/manager sees this as a good thing.

For us, it is fun. For the site it's business, and fun.
