Sensationalism
Thirty two ounces
does not a fat man make. Preach
but don't steal freedom
Sensational News
Teaching positions
blooming around me. A sign?
Fate might be speaking...
Sensational
Eyes closed, skin tingles
with a heightened awareness
feeling the moment
Do you have something sensational to share?
I remember once having 3 mins each on 10 topics of the sensation of space, it was awesome! I especially love the last poem! Thanks for sharing! (-:
ReplyDeleteFeel the moment!
ReplyDeleteSensational? I just brought back a teleporter from the future.
I agree about the soft drink thing. It's like, really? That's not going to stop people from gaining weight.
ReplyDeleteI love your Haikus! This was very fun and vivid.
ReplyDeleteLove these—as usual!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday, Tara. ☺
These were great. Especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteI love that third haiku. Very awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnother great set of Haikus on a Wednesday. Thanks Tara.
ReplyDeleteWow. That last line sent chills through me. Great writing Tara.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Totally agree. I'm chunky and I only drink diet. They'd have to limit chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThe last haiku is sensational !!!
ReplyDeleteI am not nearly at poetic as you. I got nothin'! But I did enjoy that :)
ReplyDeleteOOooooh very good, you!
ReplyDeleteThe soda thing is sort of ridiculous. What about all the places that just sell bottomless drinks. I heard a better proposal: tax a penny on every soda in the US. It'll generate enough revenue to actually come up with a good way to fight obesity (about 5 billion a year).
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not, usually, big on haikus....those were great!
ReplyDeleteEspecially the one about the drinks...lol :)
Awesome! I think that maybe 2013 will be a lucky year for you. :)
ReplyDeleteOoooo, your last one was sensational! (; Seriously though, loved these.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sensational haiku. Enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteYou are too good at this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take. I wonder when was the last time I felt my skin tingle. Memories :)
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! Love the one about the soft drink :)
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't share your view on sugary sodas. They are totally empty calories. 272 in a 32 oz Coke. That's almost a half hour of walking at 4 mph to burn off.
Plus - it isn't stealing freedom. Now - The Patriot Act - that's stealing freedom. Ditto forced ultrasounds.

My brother drinks pop all the time, and he's still lean and lanky. Though in place of gaining weight, he's had some problems with his teeth because of all that Coke he imbibes.
ReplyDeleteNothing sensational, just too much going on. Hoping for a drama free weekend.
ReplyDeletethanks for the lively comments, everyone!
ReplyDeleteenjoying the differences!
really drawn to the third one... so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely.. All three.. !!
