Haikuesday with Barry Allen

Here's another STRONG reason to replace Wally with Barry: have you ever seen Wally speak in heroic haiku? Huh, not that I recall!

Barry, on the other hand, spits 'em out even at the most startling times, and doesn't even bother to say them out loud... that's how good he is!


Can it be--is it
possible-- that WALLY now
has the speed of Flash?


Yeah, I'd be worried, too, Barry; this kid ain't no Robin!

What haiku can YOU compose to celebrate the return of Barry Allen?

  1. Gone twenty two years...
    Why bother now, since last year
    I gave up comics?

  4. Death is no big deal
    Says Supes, Ollie, Hal, Carter
    Batman plans it too

  5. Original Flash

    little in comics

  6. I'll take my first crack at Haikuesday to summarize my feelings on why Barry's return looks like such an attractive proposition.

    Wally's a good kid
    If Waid had used the Rogues more
    He would have been great

  7. Barry had all the
    cool monikers. All hail the
    true "Sultan of Speed."

  9. I really wish that
    Barry Allen would stay dead.
    Sometimes heroes die.

  10. Barry has returned
    Sans Broome/Infantino or
    Bates/Novick -- who cares?

  11. To Batman:

    The look on your face-
    When you saw me melt away
    Was hilarious!

  12. Flash Fact: Energy
    Is a constant, never destroyed.
    So to, the Speed Force.

  13. Back when he was Kid Flash, Wally used heroic haiku quite often!

    "The Flips could stop me
    even if I was falling
    off of a cliff, Flash!"

    Just one example.

  14. The Rogues' Gallery.
    In modern times, they forget
    The apostrophe.
