Summary: Five different types of poems about Hawkeye


1. Haiku (5-7-5)
Red blood and white scrubs
He finds these more meaningful
Than stars, stripes, and brass

[Bonus]
Frank proudly bleeds khaki
Klinger bleeds pure Toledo
Hawk just grabs sutures

2. Quinzaine (7-5-3)
Hawkeye is a chest cutter.
Can he do enough?
Will they live?

3. Sedoka (5-7-7, 5-7-7)
Patients rolling in
Day, night, filling the O.R.
Wounds in all shapes and sizes.

He drinks to forget.
To hide pain. To celebrate.
And sometimes to remember.

4. Tetractys (1-2-3-4-10, 10-4-3-2-1)
Doc
Draftee
Civilian
Eye of the Hawk
Gentleman, joker, ladies' man, and friend.
He wondered if he made a difference,
When some still died.
The rest knew:
He did.
Did.

5. Fibonacci (0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34…)
…
Gin
Cards
Nurses
Playing pranks
Joking with Trapper,
Beej, Klinger, Radar, and the gang
Finding ways to defeat the boredom and home sickness
Until those frantic, heart-pounding moments when the loudspeaker blares, "Incoming wounded."
And he rushes to the OR. White scrubs, bloody green fatigues, masks and sutures and desperation. Just one tired doctor trying to beat death.
