Political haiku group - no comments

I've set up a Facebook group set up for serious, satirical, and humorous haiku (a Japanese poetic form) on political themes.

It's open to all, regardless of political persuasion, so join here and add your contributions. There are quite a few already, but the more the merrier.

Political Haiku competition - 3 comments

In a slight departure, assuming anyone's still in the country for the Bank Holiday weekend, I thought I'd invite you to while away your Saturdays writing Haiku on a political theme. Here are some links to advice if you haven't written one before, but for a quick start we're basically talking about three-line, 17-syllable poems, arranged 5-7-5. Here's a fairly crude one from my collection to start you off:
Cameron: small c*ck;
Ming Campbell: liver-spots; Blair:
Lustrous mane of hair.
They needn't be (so) ridiculous, nor even humorous, but a good combination of wit and wisdom should serve you well. Leave your (original!) submissions in a comment, or drop me a line. I'll select some of the best entries before the end of Monday.
