As a counterpoint to all the great diaries and comments here at DKos which expound upon subjects and issues in delightfully verbose ways, I would like to challenge you to a terse form of conversation: Political Lune Poetry
A fixed form variant of Haiku, Lune Poetry has two forms:
The Robert Kelly lune
Robert Kelly, a Professor of Literature at Bard College, invented a new form of English-language haiku using the form 5/3/5 syllables, with the intention of making the form closer to the Japanese haiku than English-language haiku written in a 5/7/5 syllable format[1].
The Jack Collom lune
It is measured in words rather than syllables, making it easier for children to learn and compose. The form is 3/5/3 words. Jack Collom created this new form of haiku by chance, when he misremembered the original creation of Kelly's as this form, thereby creating a new one[1].
A new type of lune just invented by yours truly, the Political Lune, uses both forms of Lune described above but must strictly employ only Political themes.
So your challenge is to craft your best Political Lune and post it here. I'll collect up the ten most highly rated ones each day for seven days. The best ten will then be listed in a Poll for the final judging next Saturday.
On your mark, get set, GO!
