Last week’s haiku contest proved a jolly good time, so we thought we’d share with you which haikus H-dad liked the best. We’d been corresponding with him via gmail up until yesterday, when we received this report. Is H-dad dead? Prove that he is/isn’t by sending pictures and sightings to hawkmadinejad@gmail.com
AND THE WINNERS ARE…
Sing Muse of Hawk’s rage:
Such was the wrath of one bird,
Breaker of Squirrels
Iranian Hawk;
cruel, petty aviator.
No gays in his trees?
Hawk, our Iron Chef
Squirrel paella on math lawn
Perfect score for taste
Runner-up (disqualified because it doesn’t directly praise our friend but rather his close relatives featured in Jurassic Park):
“Click click” go the claws
There’s raptors in the kitchen
A stainless steel tomb

@ya... the grass is always greener on the other side. Unless Hawkmadinejad has been there… then it is probably soaked in blood
@that bird: Hawkmadinejad can slam revolving doors.
@Hawkmadinejad is not dead. I saw him brunching on pigeon in a tree outside of Low this morning. Our hero is alive and well (fed).
@immortal Hawkmadinejad cannot die.
Hawkmadinejad lives in our hearts.
@The 3rd one has too many syllables in its second line – Unless squirrel is Squirrl?
Also, I liked this one:
A hawk takes campus
Via eminent domain
Needs no approval
@epb I pronounce it “skwurl,” one syllable.
@epb and my iron chef.
@SRB thanks for picking my “Iranian Hawk.” I’m rather proud of it.
@question Aren’t hawks called raptors too?
@Definitely #2 touche with the “cruel petty aviator”
the others are good too, but this one’s a step above
