Sometimes the crimes
are so thick

Like moths,
cover the fur
of a cat, dead months
under the house

The nasty underbelly
of your deceptions
feeding

The blogswarm
like maggots
multiplying
on the body politic

Hope of
theraputic debridement
fades.

Not.Like that
Sick/Sweet smell

Attached forever
To your political corpse

So my intention was for it to be allegorical.</p> My understanding is that haiku is supposed to be very concrete and nature based and observation based. So my intention was for it to be allegorical.
