This National Poetry Month, we’ve decided to think even further outside the box with our own instant poetry classics — in the form of classy haikus about Moore County.
We asked you to submit your own masterpiece in the syllables of: 5, 7, 5. Here’s what we got:
(We took the liberty to name the ones y’all didn’t bother to name yourselves.)
Part Of Your World
Living here gave me
Envy for golf cart drivers
But I do not golf
– Christina B.
Target
Rumors like Fleetwood
If you build it they will come
Little Lies no more
— Nicole D.
The Sandhills
Blue skies up above
Friendly folks say hey y’all
Tall pines touch the sky
– Christine L.
A Picnic Saga
Pleasant Spring
A rapid fire biting, ouch
I see ants
– Tony V.
The Grind
Forever driving.
The children’s daily chauffeur.
I need more coffee.
— Chelsea B.
Fall for Moore Men
Patagonia
Black Puffy Jackets Too Small
Flannel Button Up
– Brandy G.
SP Nights
In my best flip flops
The barmuda triangle calls
But I dream of SoPies
– Tamara
Yellow Doesn’t Look Good On Us
Love our little town
But o m g the pollen
Lake life is the best
– Lisa W.
And because Megan S. really understood the assignment, she entered a few:
HOOAH
Stars and Stripes fly high,
Ranger panties catch my eye,
All the way, Airborne!
It Be Like That
Yellow pollen falls,
Retirees do as well,
Thankful for FirstHealth!
* You’re a savage for this one, Megan.
Saturday Outing
Chick-fil-A is crack,
T.J. Maxx is where it’s at,
Aldi run and done!
The HOA
My noisy neighbor,
B*tch named Karen, sent letter,
Make house look better!
Snaps all around for our readers who, to our surprise, double as a poet.
