DuPont Haiku

By Mike G.

In an effort to get my point across I have turned to the arts. In this case: Haiku.

Not that I have abandoned satire all together, but why not try to catch the flies with some honey, for a change? So put on your cultural thinking caps and see if you can do one better. Heck, you can even read it with your lips moving, I don’t mind.

DuPont weather yields
A chain saw to many trees
Stumps remain in view.

Giving you the dillio with the 5-7-5

Council meets then sleeps
People wait while council think
Who will pay for it?

Hemmingway never did this…

Barksdale Tuesday night
Three minutes you have to speak
Crickets chirp “Good-bye.”

Duck! Here comes another one!

Calls to 9-1-1
Require understanding
You may drive yourself.

Let me take a minute to compose myself

Our cost of living
Is “Too much,” Citizens say
5.8%!!!

Much Luck is needed in DuPont

    Skittly Wah Wah Wah!

    I thought I heard bongos in the background when I read your haiku. Surely we have some poets in town who can share their works!

  2. Starving for Atmosphere says:

    I ordered a beer
    How long do I have to wait?
    I miss Harbor Rock

  3. Cain says:

    City Center signs
    But Wilmington remains bare
    Still, Lacey prospers.

  4. No More MSG says:

    What does this town need?
    Another asian food joint
    Hah! Like hole in head!

  5. Ten Times More Than the ROA says:

    City events, fun!
    Costs about thirty thousand
    Priority one

  6. Hoffman Hell Raiser says:

    Our lovely Mayor,
    With quotes of wisdom do bring;
    Heaven help us

  7. Bird on a Wire says:

    Priorities

    Fire sirens wail

    Reader Board offers no help

    Burnt Coffe(y) bitter

  8. Palisade Res says:

    Do we have a code?

    What Settlement Agreement?

    Goodbye Edmonds Marsh

  9. Dee says:

    Exit 118
    Don’t blink or you will miss it
    tourist attractions

  10. Roger Bacon says:

    Rusty and broken

    Dynamite train or surplus?

    Covered with our cash

  11. Palisade Denizen says:

    “Brand Image” is king
    Renters pay but have no vote
    City runs amuck

  12. D. Anthony says:

    Special elecion

    Did you get a raise last year

    Firefighters did

  15. Asphalt Cowboy says:

    Council meeting

    Documents incomplete, inaccurate

    All approved

  16. Palisade Denizen says:

    Mayor and Council
    Want us to come and comment
    Their ears do not hear

  17. racerx says:

    Unions in office
    Big conflicts of interest
    Our taxes increase

    Pay them not leave
    Don’t pay them what they are worth
    Pay them what they ask

  18. racerx says:

    Pay them not to leave…sorry

  19. Vote NO on any Levy in 2009 says:

    Those pricks got a bigger raise than we would consider a really good raise in a strong economic year.

    My company is laying people off and NO raises will be given for the cycle due to the economy. I can’t stand it when people cheat the system and take more than their share.

    F!@# BILL McDonald, He negotiated himself a $6000 a year raise! He stole money from you and now he will ask for more!

  20. Yehle Mom says:

    Whoa. I don’t think that is a Haiku.

  21. Roger Bacon says:

    There once was a man from Nantucket…
