Day 12: Roger Zelazny haiku


Damnation Alley.
Good man falls. Bad man rises.
And they meet midway.

    Great book. Terrible movie.
    Time to redo it.

  2. Hell aims carefully;
    seagull takes it in the face.
    What a way to start.

  3. Not to be picky (although if we're not being picky what's the point of this whole blog?) but it doesn't say anything about Hell aiming carefully; he just "flipped" his cigar butt at the gull and scored a "lucky hit."

    1. DeVito takes aim,
      rips apart my dumb haiku.
      Brb--crying.

      Zelazny aimed it.

    3. Zach: I believe that is the first haiku that has ever been written about me.

      I am humbled.

    4. Glad to be of service, CDV! And, who knows--maybe you'll be the subject of some more poetry here before the month is over. We can only hope!

    5. I'm working on one now. I just need to be able to fit "Chris DeVito" and "Song of the Blue Baboon" into seventeen syllables.

    6. Chris DeVito loves
      the "Song of the Blue Baboon"???
      Say it isn't so.
