This concludes my series of "Lost" Haiku! I procrastinated a while before posting this because it's so hard to believe it's really over. Thanks to all the "Lost" fans who have visited the site, and special thanks to those who've left comments!

See you in another life. Or when "Mad Men" comes back in July. Namaste!

Jack's learned his lesson
No shortcuts or do-overs
What happened, happened

No need for coffee
An Apollo Bar will do
They found each other

It's Hugo's job now
And he'll find a better way
With some help from Ben

They need each other
They made this place together
They'll move on as one

Where it all began
Jack sees his friends fly away
And then he lets go

Lost, "What They Died For"

2010-05-19T20:41:00.000-07:00

He gave them a choice
And one Candidate stepped up
Jack has a new job

Special in both worlds:
Sideways consciousness-raiser
And Island fail-safe

Lost, "Across the Sea"

2010-05-13T20:05:00.000-07:00

He wasn't lying
About his crazy mother
Eve to his Adam

What the hell was that?
Not an episode of "Lost"!
Oh, it was? Really?

Lost, "The Candidate"

2010-05-05T19:53:00.000-07:00

Though he can't save her
He won't let her die alone
They drown side by side

Helps some of his friends survive
For the time being

Approaching the End of Lost

2010-04-29T19:58:00.000-07:00

And then it's over for good
I'm in denial

Oh my God, you guys
What are we going to do
When "Lost" is over?

Lost, "The Last Recruit"

2010-04-21T20:11:00.000-07:00

A big confession
Dad was Smokey all along
Just being helpful!

It doesn't feel right
Jack takes one more leap of faith
And swims back to shore

Lost, "Everybody Loves Hugo"

2010-04-14T21:57:00.000-07:00

That stuff's unstable

And then she goes BOOM!

Ready to let go
Jack puts his trust in Hurley
Who leads him to Locke

Down an old, deep well
Island Desmond goes flying
Sideways Des fights back

Lost, "Happily Ever After"

2010-04-07T19:42:00.000-07:00

Drinking MacCutcheon's
With a boss he's quite fond of
But is he happy?

Charlie's seen the truth
Consciousness-altering love
He felt something real

Here's where things get weird
Flashes of another life
Before they changed it

In another life
Desmond still finds his Constant
With her brother's help

Not done with him yet
Desmond's talent is vital
He has work to do

Chuck, "Chuck Versus the Other Guy"

On Sun's camera
Jin gets his first-ever glimpse
Of their little girl

Shot in the Sideways
Left speechless on the Island
Still not giving up

A who, not a what
Poor drugged Desmond's the package
Brought back by Widmore

All the bad fathers
Have nothing on the in-laws
Of Desmond and Jin

Goodbye to "24"

2010-03-28T19:07:00.000-07:00

Soon, the final hour
24's out of power
We'll miss Jack Bauer

Lost, "Ab Aeterno"

2010-03-24T19:04:00.000-07:00

Swept up in a storm
The ship topples the statue
And then lands in Hell

Saved by the Monster
Wasting away in despair
He's vulnerable

The Island's purpose:
Don't let the Darkness escape
Keep it bottled up

No absolution
Or reunion with lost love
Just eternal life

Lost, "Recon"

2010-03-19T19:21:00.000-07:00

He's playing both sides
And while they're fighting it out
He'll just take the sub

He blows it with Red
Leaving him available
For a certain blonde? (*)

(*) Please please please please please

In the Sideways World
He chose a different path
But still plots to kill

A spin-off series
Starring Detective James Ford
Would be so awesome!

Advice for Losties:
Avoid unwanted spoilers
Don't read the guest cast

A Haiku Plea to TV Executives:
It's pilot season
A Josh Holloway cop show?
Please make it happen!

Lost, "Dr. Linus"

2010-03-10T19:23:00.000-08:00

Light the dynamite
This newly enlightened Jack
Knows he won't blow up

Who needs Ben's money
With those jabronies' diamonds
Buried in the sand?

Digging his own grave
He seeks self-preservation
And finds forgiveness

Three in a row, now
That is unacceptable
I'm Sawyer-deprived

Lost, "Sundown"

2010-03-03T18:27:00.000-08:00

Sideways-World Sayid
In love with his brother's wife
Is still a killer

The scale has been tipped

You can have your heart's desire
Just do as he asks

No Sawyer at all
For two consecutive eps?
That's asking a lot

Lost, "Lighthouse"

2010-02-24T18:40:00.001-08:00

In the looking glass
Jack sees the home of his youth
And then smashes it

He is here for a reason
He'll find it himself

Lost, "The Substitute"

2010-02-17T18:27:00.000-08:00

Manipulation
Sawyer's grief is Smokey's gain

But do you trust him?

Etched on a cave wall
The names of those he brought here
Jacob's candidates

Island underworld
Desolate beneath the sea
Only sharks survive

War on the Island
A second chance in L.A.
Alternate timelines

Desmond's on the plane
He's reading Salman Rushdie
Wait, where did he go?

Maybe there's still hope
They can go dutch on coffee
In another life?

Guess it's not too late
To add some new characters
Hence, other Others

In a wooden ankh,
Inside Hurley's guitar case:
Jacob's latest list

Wondering what's next,
Sayid faces his demise
And then bounces back

Conan Quits!

2010-01-12T20:25:00.000-08:00

By his network dissed
Can't blame him for being pissed
Conan will be missed

A Haiku Plea to President Obama
