hitherto a poem
with vision and precise wording
limned all our dreams

poetry - a haiku - a follow up

Now it seems to me
******* and a keyboard
wow! anything goes
a short short short skirt
not even handkerchief size
cabin crew aghast
Zika mosquito
the gift that keeps on giving
Rio welcomes you
Maybe Coney Island might be safer
this is your pilot
forgive me for the delay
we have a flat tire
flower in her hair
enigmatic smile for you
forever in your dream
woke up this morning
feeling excellent
picked up the telephone
dialed the number of
my equal opportunity employer
to inform him I will not
be into work today
“Are you feeling sick?”
the boss asked me
“No Sir” I replied
I am feeling too good
to report to work today,
if I feel sick tomorrow
I will come in early”
by Pedro Juan Pietri

This is NOT my poem; I have been carrying it around for ever as the number of pinholes will attest.
My small grass back lawn
flooded out by heavy rain
will plant rice later
