Haiku Friday, Part III

The trumpet sounds from high atop Baylor Law School: It's Haiku Friday! The sound calls out Swanburg and Baker,, to Ladybird the fair, and to the fairly hilarious Baylor Family Circus. The tune goes out to the minstrel J. Ray!, and to Sister Ashley, and also to those on the mountain: The Spanish Inquisitionist,Candy Minx, GED3, the Bosque Boys, and IPlawGuy! Even you, Guy Who Deleted His Blog Yesterday, and Guy With Music On His Blog That Comes On Automatically-- We all shall gather at the castle of haiku.

As for mine... as I made clear in my posts, it was quite a week. I traveled to the Capitol City to witness a bit of history and to delve into the intricate workings of law I care deeply about. The Court adressed exactly those things I care about and have been working on; the most bracing and encouraging thing is that they care, too, about the discretion given a judge who controls not only the defendant's life, but the lives of those he could victimize in the future, those who depend on him, and those who have a stake in his life for good or bad. Given the import of this realization, it should not be surprising that this week's haiku is about that trip:

Hey, IPLawGuy,
Better clean all of your floors
Because IP, too.


Put your own haiku in the comments section. Remember, it is 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables. I think I may start giving out prizes.

Comments:
Friday the 13th means the rules of the game are changed. Its now Shakespearian sonnet friday!

The Bravest Bear woke up to get work done
My LARC memo is only quarter through
But writing a sonnet is more fun
Although my time wasted Ill likely rue

Baylor bloggins has become quite faddish
Seems 1Q blogs reproduce like field mice
But the 1Q blogs are short one Radish
I hope from here on out he will play nice

Haikus have become another great craze
But I prefer Shakespearian sonnets
I hope my effort earns me some high praise
Thinking of words that rhyme makes me vomit

Now I am glad writing this thing is through
Its 7am - lots of work to do
 
Yet another week of GUESS THE THEME!
Friday the 13th,
Cameras made of green cheese, too,
Gone to pre-order Wii!
(At Gamestop)
And another Haiku based on the last verse of GUESS THAT THEME!
Gamers gone crazy,
Time to pre-order Wii on
Friday the 13th!

Florencia knows
she is a grasshopper and
I am the teacher
 
Left the Trail today:
our class ate (with permission!)
tasty fish crackers.
 
I eschew blogging
not for lack of a topic
but for safety's sake;

Too many bad puns
would issue forth, leading to
violent responses.
 
Excellent work, MistyKeene. I can almost see the pebble in your hand...
 
Ancient TV phrase
"Grasshopper" survives, why not
Six Mil Dollar Man?
 
Yay! Nintendo Wii!
Dear Micah, I must agree
Best Friday Thirteen
 
Rap Master is wise
though he may exaggerate
I never hit him
 
Mistykeene---

the problem with yours is that if my name is pronounced properly it only has 3 syllables not 4.

-Flor-en-cia
 
The time has now come
The grasshopper has surpassed
Now I'm the master
 
Break into your dorm
Slaughter all the puffalumps
Make me a sweater

Sorry I missed this
black cat crossed my path with bliss
giving me much angst.
