Starstruck And Fanciful Fairytale Spinster Muse

Impetuous and prone to become

Smitten with every hack-acting 

Syrupy Tom, Dick, and Harry 

Who threw you the slightest 

Askance glance, thank 

Your lucky stars you managed 

To come this far and never 

Once fell head-over-heels 

For that cheesy, pock-marked 

Man in the moon or even worse, 

Ended up wart-bespangled 

And hitched to a croaking, 

Ludicrous toad in drag. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haiku: Thistles

Waves of mauve silver

Rippling in the slightest wind— 

Itch to go elsewhere.

 

 

Haiku: Breakfast With Sea View

sipping jasmine tea 

eyes fasted on bay windows 

cliffs slipping away

 

 

 

Acme Life Preserver Loans, Inc.

Washed out and dead 

Tired of trying to keep 

Your head above troubled waters 

In a sea flush with sharks? Why not 

 

Drop in and float 

An exclusive Lifesaver Loan™ 

With us? Once you decide to 

Take the plunge, we’ll have you 

 

High and dry, head over heels 

And walking on water straight 

To the Promised Land no

Strings attached. 

 

 

 

Haiku: Don't Look Now But

A well’s planted here 

Between two thin cypresses— 

It’s full of eels' eyes.
