A
friend wrote a great haiku the other day and that got me to thinking about whether
I could do a news print haiku.
I
decided I would use the traditional three line form with a “turn” after the
second line. (The turn resolves the issue set up for the first two lines.) Traditional haiku uses 5 syllables for the
first line, 7 syllables for the second line, and five syllables for the
concluding line.
Here’s
what I came up with from a section of the newspaper on the editorial page
entitled “The Needle.” It usually includes three very short political jokes.
The Ten Commandments
It’s over-regulation
Repeal five of them
