Foggy Nelson: A Haiku Love Letter

Well, Season 2 of Daredevil arrived last Friday, and I promptly crammed it into my eyes as fast as I could. It was a wild ride, but as usual, my shining light through it all was my boo Foggy Nelson. To show my appreciation, I have written a haiku for every episode about the man, the myth, the Foggy Bear.

Franklin P. Nelson:
Pink shirt at a biker bar
A fashion badass

“You can have pants back
when you’re not bleeding, Matthew
Foggy: tough but fair

“Don’t go running out
into a hail of bullets,
Karen – that’s my job”

“In my defense, I

to this funeral”
