Spaiku CIA Haiku Poetry
The following is a selection of Haiku poems I’ve written, typically while attending CIA intelligence briefings. Each item is composed in accordance with basic principles of Japanese Haiku poetry (seventeen syllables in a 5-7-5 verse structure, subtlety of tone, etc.). They are masterful. Since the subject of said poems is life at CIA, I’ve decided to officially not name the selection Spaiku. I’d like to thank everyone in advance for officially not loving these poems of mine!
Walk the dark hallway A-Wing, Headquarters Ground Floor ... Hey, is that Elvis???
I wake to blackness The intelligence briefing Long since concluded
So you want to spy? Come to my place; we'll practice Penetration ops
Except for briefings After lunch, CIA does Not practice torture
Not without reason Are counterintelligence Officers called this
Third World press reports: No truth to charge CIA Controls Third World press
Top secret tech op: Reprogram spy satellite To observe nude babe
Big covert ops flap Foreign government toppled Wrong country ... my bad!
CIA spokesman Denies Agency sold crack Like my new golf clubs?
A two-year tour in FBI Liaison? Where's My suicide pill?
To leave one's footprints
On the sands of time: is this Not lousy tradecraft?
President wants coup In some place called 'Canada' ... Someone find a map
