Cliche plot device haiku
Murphy saved the town
with the help of the genie,
And then he woke up.

Cliche Haiku
Lord and lady lay,
strewn in their room of complaints:
the butler did it.

Found love at first sight
Connected our hearts as one
Turned out she's my sis

No one will talk. Fear!
A conspiracy. Danger!
It goes to the Top!

Radioactive bat bites man
Man wakes up blind but can fly
He fights crime and evil

Action cliche..
Man dives for safety!
Corvette totals his fruit cart.
The chase continues...

Her brolly was lost.
Too bad, because it was a
Dark and stormy night

She hates him wholly
He dislikes her intensely
But Love conquers all

Love it
two snaps and a twist
funny ain't it?
when in living color, it's all
so black and white.

50's Horror cliche..
Scientific test.
Radioactive fallout.
Insects get bigger!

Love, improbably
He hates her hates him.

Gore Part 12
He waits in the dark
Young people blunder and die
Part Thirteen next year
Ivory Madison says:
spies in love
two improbably
hot spies on opposite sides
both moral, get married.

Sodafountain kids.
Pleasant Valley, USA.
Harleys rumble in.

One last job...
Just one last bank heist.
Simple, until things go bad.
I'm too old for this.

And the winner is...
Wow! I didn't imagine I would get such a great response to the first haiku challenge of the week. Thank you everyone for your fantastic haikus. It wasn't an easy decision, but our winner is Randall, due in part to his shear number of great haiku poems!
Special thanks to John Oughton's eloquent "Cliche Haiku", Lance M Foster's "Gore Part 12", and Caleb Whang's testament to the ongoing Korean interest in accidental incest, "Korean Drama Cliche Plot Device."
Just a friendly reminder to some contestants: haiku poems are constructed of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.
And now, Randall, your prize:
Ode to Randall
Braving the mad seas
he cooly endures the oysters
foiling love again!
