5 Haikus for R.A.W.
By Sean Rovaldi (aka The Purple Gooroo)
I was originally going to write an essay about 'six months after Bob's passing' - my induction into the MLA, the impact of Bob's memes and ideas, whether "The Tale Of The Tribe" would be completed, etc. I haven't been able to get it together enough to start the essay and I've been busy with the "Angel Tech" course lately. I was skimming through "E-Mail To The Universe" a couple of weeks ago and was inspired by his film haikus, so I thought I'd write a few in his honour. I don't consider myself a 'naturally' poetic type, so forgive these amateur attempts, but I wanted to fete the man in some way, especially since I didn't have anything ready for MQ10. I may just get back to that essay for the next winter solstice issue, in time for the anniversary of Pope Bob's passing.
The Old Man Has Gone
He Left His Time-Binding Memes
For Us To Sort Out
Illuminatus!
So Much More Than Just A Story
A Brain-Change Device
Six Months Later, I
Still Wonder Where He May Be
A Sirius Guess
He Was Not A Sage
Nor A Guru Or Swami
He Just Did The Work
Rise Prometheus!
The Shackles Of Dogma
Crumble Into Dust

Thanks to Bogus Magus for his help and of course, Hail Pope Bob! |
