Mark Toney Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Scarlett, Rhett, Tara
“Fiddle-dee-dee War War War”
~ ‘I don’t give a whoop’

Oscar-Ku 12 -Gone With the Wind

Scarlett, Rhett, Tara
“Fiddle-dee-dee War War War”
~ ‘I don’t give a whoop’





Poet’s note: Okay, okay, you’re right!  Rhett Butler didn’t give a “whoop” in the most famous line of Gone With the Wind.  If the film censors had their way, it may have ended with a “whoop.”  But they didn’t and the rest is history.

Mark Toney May 13, 2018 at 12:53 AM I know that most haiku are not titled. I title mine to keep track of them. But my Oscar haiku titles were way too long even for my liking. So, instead of naming them, I've designated them as "Oscar-ku," a combination of Oscar and haiku. Kudos to fellow poet Kim Rodrigues for coming up with the name. Cheers, Kim!
