1.
Campaign donations,
softer than melted butter.
Katy bar the door!
2.
Spring's first new blossoms
Full with promise, wonder, hope
Childhood's innocence
3.
Life's distillation
Elemental emotion
Poetry, haiku
4.
Good ol' Bill tells lies.
Today he just might realize
That he is despised.
5.
Monica is sad.
Bill did treat her very bad.
Now Congress is mad.
6.
Perhaps we will see
What this does to the country,
And kick his butt out.
7.
Presidential smile
drives Republicans crazy.
Pop goes the weasel.
8.
Congressmen mumble,
insult, whine, misinterpret.
This is a hearing?
9.
Tom Jefferson wrote
"Poor leaders should be cast out."
Who first? Saddam? Bill?
10.
Fluffy Christmas snow
binds raucous world in silence.
Heavenly muffler.
11.
Winter's imbalance.
Short days to regroup, lay plans,
long nights to regret.
12.
Snows deeper than thought,
time frozen at 10 o'clock,
life and death the same.
13.
Spindly pencil poised.
Snake strikes to inject venom.
Victim clutches heart.
14.
Drenching evil rain,
remorseless, cold, depressing.
Happy tomorrow.
15.
Merry Christmases
to all who have learned to count
five, then seven, five.
16.
Ponds silent, frogs gone.
Scientists scratch heads and frown.
Something new is wrong.
17.
Poet in mirror
lip-syncs song of pure terror.
Never shave again.
18.
Midwinter folding,
he finds clothes left from summer,
vows to get a grip.
19.
Bookstore eyes like moons,
seek out thick tomes, mile-long words.
Brain pleads for mercy.
20.
Now he's got it down:
imperfectibility,
standards low enough.
21.
Super Bowl was born
from pun, insuperable,
misunderstanding.
22.
Misunderstanding,
Imperfectibility,
three-word haiku sought.
