[ MH ] Night of the Vespa
flowed wit milk n honey—
their paradise lost, renouned
"hornetopia"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
all this hornet talk
stressing out my abdomen
giving me the hives
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
no subs, planes, drones, ships
nor tankas can bring down their
Amber Armada !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Alas poor Bugger
a fellow infinite pest
I knew him, Hornetio
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mafia hit jobs
on their competitors are
none of your bee's wacks
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
offing their neighbors
is easier than keeping
up with the Droneses
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
redrum ! REDRUM ! RED-
hornet hotel haiku hell
Kephen Sting noveled
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Orient expressed
death by lethal injection
murderous ! she wrote
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
face the hideous
insidious Death's Head Bug !
so foul is its breadth
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Night Of The Vespa
nobody gets out a hive
bee movie horror

Aw man that was way cool! I had to keep re-reading that one. Excellent wordplay!

Thank you! But no one murders the traditional western Haiku form like me. Be thankful it wasn't a sonnet - I really fuck those up.
These are so clever and funny, they could be on a billboard. Each one could be an ad. Maybe the droneses are spying, maybe the hornets are. The technology is so advanced. These are so creative :)

I read through the comp and there was a couple that I Lol'd on that weren't on this list, I think it was the political allusion ones, those were good, needing a good laugh these days :)
