Dr. Domino's Haikuesday

Before we get to Dr. Domino's "Plan B", we have to pause to enjoy

Haikuesday at the Absorbascon.

Fortunately, that enjoyment is commensurable with Dr. Domino Week, since the good doctor himself will provide us not one, but two haikus to inspire us. Dr. Domino is so impressive!


"Tracy! I've no time
to waste breaking you down! But --

there are other ways!"

"He confessed he sold
his bacteria cloudburst
formula to you."


You know, there aren't a lot of characters would could work "bacteria cloudburst formula" (a lovely nature image, by the way) into a smooth haiku in the middle of interrogating a tie-torture victim. Just another reason Dr. Domino is one of the greats, people.

Can you meet Dr. Domino's challenge by composing a haiku that celebrates both Haikuesday and Dr. Domino week at the same time?

  1. Monolithic head
    Six spots under yellow skies
    And clenched fist of DOOM!

    Need a hero gone?
    Nothing says "Die!" like concrete.
    Come to Bosporus!

    Wonder Woman? Pffft!
    Even she can't stand before
    My mighty ruffles!

  2. Haikuesday is neat,
    yet Domino's mouth must bleet
    that this is his week!

  3. Six pips high and low
    Is the signal that we know
    Our doom is assured

  4. Sinister captain
    of henchmen run battleship
    brings doom once released

  5. Troubling game piece
    Sits atop villainous head
    What does it all mean?

  9. I speak with forked tongue,
    shaking my fist and wondering
    why my head's this way.

    Must be some kind of
    gambling addiction or just
    a tired novelty.

  10. Haikuesday rules, but
    Dr. Domino's name eats
    up five syllables!

    Scipio, I know
    he's far beyond awesome but
    next time, please: Kite-Man

  14. Hmmm. I'm not sure. Haven't looked at my Heroclix in a while. I would think one of the humanlike Batman villains. Or maybe someone like Manta?
