Haiku Friday: Parades!
Yesterday in New Orleans, I saw what seemed to be an improvised parade going down a side street in the middle of the afternoon, celebrating… I'm not sure what. New Orleans is like that.
It is also the season for homecoming parades, which I dearly love. Let's haiku about parades today-- the good, the bad, the utter disasters. I will go first:
Our float burned up
"It seemed like a good idea"

[Based on actual events. Yes, plural-- more than one event]
Now it is your turn! Use the 5/7/5 syllable formula and have some fun!

I was a drummer
at NHS. Loved seeing
kids cover their ears
as our band marched by.
Drum cadences should be LOUD.
We made sure they were.

There was a dark boy
Ojibwe in his blood who
Rode a spotted horse
In the parade on
The Fourth. Wore buckskin bare chest.
Appaloosa proud.

Glad to live here,But in the
Hypocrite parade.

When they marched past all
Wearing hats,I took mine off
I did not come from
The cookie cutter.
They said it would all be fine.
I found third party.

She sat on the float
A Six-foot Sparkler with
Rhinestone tiara.
Her court nuzzled close
Miniature brunette dwarves.
Perpetual smiles.
They waved til their wrists
Fell off and the scary clowns
Threw penny candy.
