DuPont Haiku
ByIn 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.
Council meets then sleeps
People wait while council think
Who will pay for it?
Barksdale Tuesday night
Three minutes you have to speak
Crickets chirp “Good-bye.”
Calls to 9-1-1
Require understanding
You may drive yourself.
Our cost of living
Is “Too much,” Citizens say
5.8%!!!

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!
I ordered a beer
How long do I have to wait?
I miss Harbor Rock
City Center signs
But Wilmington remains bare
Still, Lacey prospers.
What does this town need?
Another asian food joint
Hah! Like hole in head!
City events, fun!
Costs about thirty thousand
Priority one
Our lovely Mayor,
With quotes of wisdom do bring;
Heaven help us
Priorities
Fire sirens wail
Reader Board offers no help
Burnt Coffe(y) bitter
Do we have a code?
What Settlement Agreement?
Goodbye Edmonds Marsh
Exit 118
Don’t blink or you will miss it
tourist attractions
Rusty and broken
Dynamite train or surplus?
Covered with our cash
“Brand Image” is king
Renters pay but have no vote
City runs amuck
Keeping it real
You always publish my posts
Other site does not.
Internet cancer
Webmaster controls message
Popcorn is burning
Special elecion
Did you get a raise last year
Firefighters did
Council meeting
Documents incomplete, inaccurate
All approved
Mayor and Council
Want us to come and comment
Their ears do not hear
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
Pay them not to leave…sorry
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!
Whoa. I don’t think that is a Haiku.
There once was a man from Nantucket…
