O’ dear Osama, can there be no secret code
That will reach you in your far-off dirt abode?
Parhaps one stuck in these harmless rhyming loops
Will be passed on by our useful idiot dupes?

A University deep in the land of Satan
Is all giggly and, yes, breathlessly awaitin’
Our cunning meters and machiavellian rhyme
So that you may strike the infidels at the proper time.

I figure the ones that weren’t “done for art” were evaluated as hidden messages to their fellow terrorists.

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I’m stuck here in Cuba
And I blame the Jew.

Or perhaps a Haiku–

The rays of the sun
Heat the cruel bars of my cell.
Guard! More ice cream, please!

How about a poem that I thought of in about 5 seconds (I used the “u” and “2″ that postmodernists love and think suddenly makes something a “poem”). Can it be published in the same jihad anthology?

i hate U America
close up Guantanamo
Send me 2 your town
So i can wreck havoc there
by suing everyone around

Hey, it’s better than this poet.

Alla, I like Hot Airs layout a heck of lot better than the new one Michelle has. Really. Pardon me MM but it sucks. Big time. Who’s bright idea was it to change it to something so schmucky. It is hard as hell t read. What was wrong with the other one? I thought it was pretty darned nice. Really M. Go back to the original. Quickly. Thank You.

Start pumping in some Emo music, give them livejournals and a few razorblades, the Gitmo issue will solve itself.

Oh, Gitmo, how I hate thee,
Caging my jihadi corpus.
Oh, Gitmo, give me C-4
Or let me ride home on a porpoise.

(Found ‘composed’ of torn-out letters from a U.S. G.I. Koran and pasted with tapioca pudding onto the side of a Helfire missile.)

I don't care what you say, it's still better than Howl. Inevitable Next step: detainee interpretive dance. Slightly off topic, here's a very interesting book by a formerly leftist canadian poet, who explains how he came to see the light. Here's an article about it, for the short version.

I’m trying to figure out what they would write about, certainly not turmoil.

“Today it is sunny with a cool tropical breeze blowing the pages of my Koran as I sit on my prayer mat and stuff my face with better meals than the running dog infidels. How I long for my rodent infested cave. I had the first dentist visit of my life today. I wish there were some Jooooos to kill in here.”

But is it art? [Detainee attorney Marc] Falkoff said the original cadence may have been lost in translation to English, mostly from Arabic and done by a limited pool of translators granted security clearances by the U.S. military.

Huh. They seemed to have worked out a cadence well enough with the ‘Death to America’, ‘Death to Israel’, etc.

They were written like a post-colonialism-deconstructionist professor of neo-modern-marxist-gay-anthropological-superunleaded-studies.

now what the heck did I just say? Maybe that’s a poem, where do I send it in?

seriously it sounds more like some college student who had a really far left wing professor, I question the timing

If the poems are not published in the original Arabic, they are not the authentic Word of the Detainees. Any translation into Infidel is blasphemy and will result in the Removal of your Eyeballs.

I guess with a last name like Falkoff, you would be a lawyer for terrorists.

How much are we paying those translators to translate that drivel?

I guess no one told them if they wrote children’s books, they’d get a former M*A*S*H star on their side.
