WandaVision Haiku, Episodes 1 & 2
14 haiku about my favorite new show
I watched both episodes 1 and 2 of WandaVision on Disney+ this weekend and I’m in love. I’m a massive pop-culture junkie. Growing up I loved Nick at Nite in the 1980s and 1990s when it showed classic black and white sitcoms. I’m also a big comic book and science-fiction dork. I should also add that I’m a story nerd. WandaVision tingles so many of my geeky glee spots. This is the kind of content that is perfect for the streaming age because it’s far too weird to ever make it on a broadcast channel. The haiku below contain spoilers. make sure you watch the first two episodes before reading.
wife's flying saucers
husband's shatterproof noggin
wedded sitcom bliss
all my hours watching
nick at nite as gen x kid
prepared me for this
friendliest neighbor
classic case of much too nice
to be authentic
biggest mystery
what does the company do
that employs vision?
does anyone care
the man's name is vision and
he has no last name?
blink and you'll miss it
logos from hydra and sword
something sinister
all the commercials
and pop music played in show
slightly off-kilter
dottie's glum minions
picture-perfect stepford wives
it's "for the children"
wanda's pregnancy
raises some awkward questions
android conception?
killer sitcom tropes
please have vision jump a shark
later this season
beekeeper gave me
menacing nightmares last night
think he's a good guy
saw the homage to
i married joan, bewitched, and
the dick van dyke show
loved pleasantville vibe
late in second episode
ratchets the tension
show within a show
brilliant framing device and
sets audience up
Thanks for reading! I’m on a bit of a pop-culture kick lately. In the next few days, you will be getting haiku commentary on Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Evermore albums. Please let me know what you thought of this post.
Be the poetry you want to see in the world,
