Clue Haiku Challenge

[srsly-yes.livejournal.com]

Howdy Campers!

Remember the board game, Clue? Colonel Mustard with a gun in the library? Well, we play it here at camp, but with haiku. This is a great way to torture our favorite oncologist with a minimal number of syllables and a minimal amount of gushing blood.

Substitute the Colonel for Wilson, a symptom or diagnosis for a weapon, and the location... well that's still a location, but it's up to you to decide where. All three elements should be included in your haiku.


Here's a sample:

Wilson gasped for breath.
Sarah's toy, the inhaler,
gone from his bedside.

(Diagnosis--asthma, location--bedroom)



Kitchen nightmares. Ouch!
Blood-colored marinara.
Splashing boiled water.

(Diagnoses--cut and burn. Location--kitchen; See what I did thar? It's the sekret woid!)


Office paperwork.
Poor gating mechanism
for a smashed wrist heart.

(Diagnoses--broken bones, emotional hurt. Location--office)


Haiku format:

1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7 syllables
3rd line: 5 syllables

Thank you! I know, migraines are hell, but so is loneliness and depression. Poor Wilson needs someone to cuddle him.
