Lamentation Twenty

Posted in response to Mag 159, prompted by Tess Kincaid.

Haiku for a Lovesick Sailor


She shot him one glance.
Holed beneath the waterline
He sank without trace.

I welcome your comments, the gloomier the better. I don't think there's much hope, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in what you have to say. If you expect me to approve your comment before it appears, you're about to be disappointed. Never have understood why some hypersensitive bloggers need to see what others say before they allow the comment. Poor, sensitive wee souls.
