James Bond haiku-anything goes
Thunderfinger
Das Boot Hill
In the novel You Only Live Twice, James Bond makes an attempt at writing a haiku poem written in the Basho style:
You only live twice
Once when you are born
And once when you look death in the face
A traditional haiku consists of 17 syllables-five in the first line, seven syllables in the second line and five syllables in the third and final line. Bond himself deviated from this(5-5-9), and so can we. I thought it would be fun to see what you well-spoken people can come up with, inspired by the various films. We should keep it to three lines and less than 20 syllables in total however. It is all for fun, so anything goes. Here is an attempt at a haiku inspired by Connery s introduction scene in DN.
Green filt on the table
One name spoken
Fumes of smoke and danger
A poor attempt, but really looking forward to what you can come up with if you are interested in participating. Any scene, on screen or behind the scenes, or about your own feelings connected to the film, humorous or serious ,are welcome.

Red hair like flames
Mean Wicked eyes
Dangerous like a nasty snake
The quest for a lover's peace
Through vengeance of death
Smirnoff with a twist of peel
Turns his nerves to steel
Lokking good in a tux
A close shave etc etc.
Die Another Day
Sucked but thanks for Quantum of Solace
James wants it harder
Le Chiffre dies scratching them both
Severine's shower
Eve's sexy shavings
Silva's erotic massage
I have changed the title and premise now. Any film any time. Any actor ,scene, or anything Bond related really. You never know when inspiration hits you, and this way it can go on forever.If anyone has a good picture to go with their haiku- all the better!(Just remember:No Bondfilm stills, it is against forum policy.)
The assassination of Dr Kaufmann:
German weasel quivers
Shot rings out in Hamburg
Girly agent flaps his arms
(re. Bond's hiatus in SF)
By the sea he sat
Drink and poison and some sex
But London call'd back
Shadows call him back
The aging spy is resurrected
The day of Sky Fall
From shadows death crawls
And only brave men stand tall.
Many women dead
But the one just lost was the best of M's
Erotica massagica
Latin America
Crack in the glassplate
The admiral is breathing
Mission a failure
Haha! You won't ever let that arm flapping go, will you? :))
Anyway, here is mine:
Bond on vacation
Only a dream
London calling it seems
and
Agent provocateur
Death for breakfast
Resurrection does come
and
A blunt instrument they say
His love betrayed and dead
Yet he lives to fight and love another day
Prettyboy old and fat
Robocop, invisible car
Turn the leaf now
A raised eyebrow is his style
Charm and disarm
The Bond who gave us Moore
(That's Moore for "more" - get it? The longest serving Bond, more films, etc. Oh I see, you already got it. I'll just shut the door on my way out now.) :-$
Slidewhistle ruins
Limp-wristed duel ends
Goodnight Goodnight Sleep well
Tomorrow brings you
The world to save
A dash of pepper
some fried mushrooms
and a splash of tabasco....
Penne delicately cooked al dente
Bacon and parmesan gently stirred in
Coated with eggs and cream
That's my dinner! ;)
Hi Sean Connery
The Doc's metal hand
Honey arises from the sea
They want the Lektor
They fight on the train
Kerim is the man dammit :)
Correct!
