Haiku/Senryu / When Bush Speaks

A decent senryu.  I would drop the comma though.

That’s funny. “Mistakenly leak the truth”, I think that could be said of many in corporate america.

I believe way more than the majority feel the same way. He’s got to be the number one worst P in hx.

Why? Drop the proper noun in the title -it gives it a really pretentious vibe off the bat. Next… this is an art form… not monotonous diatribe -give it feel.

Imagery is a must here; even if there is no reference to seasons: senryu is your option, but this -this is offensive to all that write. This is more like a poorly written lyric in some pretentious, overt rock song. Ever heard of this little thing called subtlety? Use it next time.

Falling leaves tell more about the wind then a dying preacher.

It’s what I feel too !! Amazing how truth always comes out.

Excellent!  Very honest.  My advice: no comma.  Great senryu!

I was expecting a Bush quotable about “misunderedumicated” or something… like one of those calendars my dad always gets for X-mas. I know it is popular to criticize Bush, but I feel that your Haiku might apply to a wide variety of people in politics.

Coupled with the title, this haiku speaks volumes.
On one hand, it could be a citizen fearing what Bush has to say. On the other hand, it could be Bush having the fear and speaking “leaked truth” and lies.
I like that this could be read from either perspective.
Interesting!

well said! bravo!

and not just for obvious reasons, but it really hits to the heart of what makes Bush stumble, his words.

his words, without merit, hurt so many among those the innocent.

thank you for this haiku.
