Turn off the cooling
on reactor four comrades
What harm could it do?

Let's take a potshot
at the archduke in his car
What harm could it do?

With a small flush of restrained pride, modernhaiku is happy to unveil a brand new literary idiom - the "What harm could it do? - ku"

Berliners snickered
as Jack proudly claimed to be
A small jam doughnut

Microchip sneekers
Uranium Mastercard
Life today; priceless

Pancakes, waffles, toast,
styrofoam. Mere vehicles
for maple syrup.

Granite skies have pressed
fields to diamond. Our voices
fracture brittle air

The clocks changed last night
What year is it? Do I have
A big bushy beard?

Send men to the moon
And then bring them back safely
Buzz dug that last bit

Can't help but wonder
how long before OctaMom
takes on Spiderman?

Daydream believer
In the tub with Jack and Coke
And rubber ducky
