T-ZONE HAIKU: "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?"



With this next haiku about 'The Twilight Zone', we turn to the official pilot episode of the series, commissioned once "The Time Element" proved to be so popular (after languishing in the CBS vaults for a time.)

T-ZONE HAIKU - "THE TIME ELEMENT"


Familiar with haiku?

It's a poetic form of three lines with a strict number of syllables in each:

5
7
5

Leading up to the July 4th marathon of 'Twilight Zone' episodes on Syfy, somebody in the T-Zone Facebook page suggested using haiku to describe episodes of this classic anthology series.  And my fellow members of the group rose to the occasion.

So as we head into this spooky month, I'd like to share those 'Twilight Zone' haiku (haikus?) which I thought were the best.

Plus three of mine.....

I'm going to begin with one of mine, not because I'm that much of an egomaniac, but because the topic was the pilot episode of the series shown as a one-off on the 'Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse'.

So... submitted for your approval:

O'BSERVATION:
The best part was that Bacon was not afraid to play himself as a real jerk.  O'Bviously his televersion is not the same as the Kevin Bacon in the Trueniverse....


 

Inner Toob covered the subject once before.....
