#2 I've always thought of Haiku is poetry for people who can't rhyme worth a damn. So, how about the Rantburg Haiku challenge?

I'll start. Ominously.

#3 UPDATE #2: Noemie Emery, writing in The Weekly Standard, describes antiwar poets:

"They have left the American street for the Ivory Tower, the most airless room of the national attic, and the one most inclined to inversion and cluelessness. This is an attack of the unknown, armed with the unreadable, in defense of the unconscionable.

"Call them the Edna St. Vincent Malaise."
