Thank you to everyone who participated in the political haiku writing contest that AC ran recently. We had a huge number of submissions, and so many were so good that it was tough to settle on the winners.
Should these inspire you, a political limerick contest will be announced in October and we'll be looking for Halloween-related creative writing as well. Please send your congratulations to the Content Producers below!
Lenora Murdock is the creator of the winning Pro-McCain haikus:
Oh say, can you see
Bright futures for you and me?
Truth. Pride. Liberty.
These perilous times:
War, hate, economy, crime,
Young troops on the line.
Victory, valor,
Pride, strength, peace, justice, honor
We need this hour.
Raise star-spangled squall.
McCain and Palin for all!
We, the people, call.
Shawn Struck is the Pro-Obama haiku winner (he wrote about Sarah Palin):
Moose feast happily
On Alaskan tundra moss.
Bang! Goes Palin's gun.
On-the-job training
is best for learning new things.
At least, we hope so.
She compared herself
to dumb dog, takes offense when
compared to bright pig?
Mommy! Hunts a moose!:
When I think of leadership,
those two top my list.
Bridges to nowhere
Ain't really that ambitious:
How 'bout hockey rinks?
Cops over budget?
Just use Palin's solution:
Rape kits now cost you!
Finally, the independent or third party winner is Justice Lives Not with "Obama McCain's Crazy Train":
Obama McCain
Just like Pinky and the Brain
They want to RULE us
Ain't it such a shame?
Are they evil or insane?
Trying to FOOL us
To them it's a game
Both guys claim to feel our pain
Attempt to COOL us
Feel the budget strain
Flush more money down the drain
Fleece and DE-WOOL us
Obama McCain
The destination's the same
Downward they'll PULL us!
