Haiku Friday: The Olympics!
I figured that it would be a good week to link Political Mayhem Thursday with Haiku Friday, given that the London Olympics are coming up fast. I'll admit it: I love the Olympics. They have just the right combination of formality and goofiness-- the orderly processing/the crazy events-- that I love in almost anything.
Let's haiku about our favorite events. I will go first:
His head explodes!
Japanese Volleyball Coach
Is a little uptight.
Now it is your turn! Just make the haiku 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and then 5 for the third. You can (if you must) make up events that you wish were in the Olympics. The winner gets a bio here on Monday.

Guy smiles, says, "Fencing!"

Went to Atlanta
Discovered men's field hockey
Cheered with Australians
Moved on to horses
Cheered with the Americans
Danced in the fountain

Thru hollar and glen
Gliding upon waxen staves.
Time and target sought.
Be still heart pounding.
Cross hairs eyed - With calm rythem
Trigger squeezed, "ker pling"

Swept and pulled to a red dot.
