  1. signed haiku
    leaves fall from
    his fingers

    signed haiku
    looks like fair lady
    weaves at shuttles

    signed haiku
    a goateed man
    plays air guitar

  2. If anyone hasn’t read Jerome’s collection, Amidst, you should check it out. Some great poems, including one of my all-time favorites:

    head to tail
    swishing flies
