There is, however, haiku of uselessness, ignorance, and doubt. Marv loves those.
"I do not know what
happened here ... do not know who
any of them were--"
Exactly the kind of pathetic, haltering haiku you'd expect from Pariah, one of the most fittingly named characters in comic book history.
PLEASE tell me you can do better than Pariah or at least make fun of him in haiku, so we can get SOME entertainment out of COIE!

Okay, today's post were three of the funniest I've ever seen. Would it be a breach of etiquette if I put up a permanent link to you from my site?
Not at all! I'm honored!
Why am I cursed to
witness this pain, and use this
silly eye liner?
Hi! I'm Pariah
The new character find of
1985.
Kahn promised me my
own miniseries drawn by
Perez...What happened?
Me and Lady Quark
And Harbinger too, 'member?
Banned from DCU.
You think I'm crappy?
Wait 'til you get a load of
the New Guardians.
Don't die Monitor
who will listen to me whine
for eight more issues?
Think I was sad then?
Wait until you see me in
Villains United.
I am Pariah.
My shroud is green, my hair is
purple. Please love me.
I spent all 12 parts
of Crisis drawn with my mouth
agape in horror.
Why must you all make
fun of me mercilessly?
It was the eighties!
No heroic Haiku in the Crisis? I have to take that as a challenge. And a mighty one it was, with so few actual instances of heroism and Wolfman's penchant for polysylabic utterances that can't often be cut up into Haikus. But still, allow me to present the main character and hero of the Crisis, not the one and only but the original Superman, Kal-L:
Ugly, you may be
Right...but somebody had to
Clean up the Garbage!
rafi-el: awesome...
There is now a hole
Where Pariah's stomach was.
Ouch, that's gotta sting.
Why don't I have friends?
I am smart, clever, handsome.
Name is Pariah.
Aunty Monitor
It was terrible! Worlds died!
Oh! And Toto, too
Th- The pain... of being
written... like a Chris Claremont
mutant...is... too great!!!!
"I spent all 12 parts
of Crisis drawn with my mouth
agape in horror."
Me, too...
