#electionhaiku

Posted by Nicholas Gruen on Tuesday, August 3, 2010

In case you’re interested, there are some great election haikus circulating with the hastag above.

Here are a few chosen pretty quickly.  Feel free to offer your own here, or on Twitter.

Labour it campaigns / Five weeks in a leaky boat? / Waterfalls await.

All day winter winds/ howl, but cannot quite drown out/ those inane slogans.

@annabelcrabb seems to be pumping them out at a great rate.

A quick fave which seems to chime in with my own current preoccupations:

but moving forward / we go around in circles / unless we look back

    Abbott is annoying
    Gall bladders are galling
    But factions are worst.

    Campaigns are measured
    Poll by poll and week by week,
    Labor leak by Labor leak.

    Debate nights: handshakes,
    Grins, talks, spins, always thinking –
    “They must be destroyed!”

    Paradox: you can’t
    Vote for the least worst pollie
    They’re all hideous.
