I was reading about North Korea today and was inspired to write a haiku:

North Korean 'fun'
does not involve flat noodles
mushroom cloud over Seoul

And as I was reading through a requirements document I listened to the NPR 24hr program stream and heard two people talking about accidental nuclear war. I brainstormed with a coworker for a while to come up with some themes about nuclear devastation. He asked me why and I said I wanted some material for Haikus. When he got done laughing at me, we came up with the following list:

wasteland
hungry/food
sad/lonely
frightened
radiation (bonus for mentioning iodine)
shelter
supplies/medicine

So here they are, not necessarily in that order ;)

after the world ends
slow mutants shuffle about
the dead are lucky

long pork is tasty
when the other choice is dirt
sorry little sis

I'm so tired tonight
still hiding from cannibals
must not fall asleep

hair has fallen out
tempurature high glands swollen
pray for iodine

avoid toxic rain
for safety sake forced to live
in collapsed ruins

old man trading meds
for women or strong children
now he has crushed skull

snow blind from searching
alone on this blistered earth
family gone away

Happy Thursday everyone!!
