In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day—using 17 syllables or less—you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.

Today's Someone Haiku winner is Surgeonsgirl:

hippie hangs from tent
awaiting rebirth into
future yuppiedom

That was fantastic, Surgeonsgirl. (I especially liked the acknowledgment that many hippies abandon their beliefs once they stand in the way of major profits.) Though DWF might have edged you out had they pruned their syllables by only two.

New Someone Haiku after the jump.

Today, make poetry of a Chicago court's decision to further postpone R Kelly's child pornography trial, a case that has already been on hold for five years. Jury selection will not proceed September 17 as was scheduled and no future date has been announced, so bureaucracy once again hamstrings justice! I'm sure you can summon 17 syllables of rage for this one. Good luck.

    Apologies for either a double post or my lack of a post (in which case this comment will be irrelevant and nonsensical and make Cord think worse of hippies than he already does.)
