First post of 2010! Let the second phase of THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOG begin! Is there a better way to begin phase two than by writing poetry celebrating what is, objectively speaking, the greatest science fiction monster movie of all time?
Don't you think a sombre, serious film exploring the repercussions of World War II and the atomic age deserves some light verse?
Isn't it time to show Tom Hanks and HBO who really knows how to terrorize the Japanese?
If you answered "yes" or "arigato" to any of these questions keep reading...Gojira Haiku!
Guitar at sundown
Wind and harmonica blows
Atomic fire burns
Rains at Odo Isle
Trilobite in the footprint
Both come with thunder
A train falls from teeth
Straight out of prehistory
In debris meadows
Miniature tanks;
Fireworks ineffective on
The reptile mountain
Man with the eye patch;
Oxygen destroyer works-
Bye Doc and Zilla
P.S. I did not know about this when I originally conceived this blog post. I thought I would be a pioneer in dai kaiju haiku but I thought wrong.
