Haiku from April Salzano


and then there were ten
five for you and five for them
don't choose too quickly


Weekend at Dad's house.
Deodorant, retainer,
left at home on sink.


Reverse Cowgirl

backwards and bent wrong
but you have the perfect view
forget who I am

Haiku by Emily Jo Scalzo


warm enough for rain
the earthworms on the pavement
despite two feet of snow
