Ginger Marin's Original Haiku

*Woody Allen in my mirror. I am frightened.*

*The world smokes and spews. I must not cry.*

*Sight without wonder is death. Look deeply and ask why.*

*Make silence, please.*

*When the winter wind blows cold and the gray light dims, I see shadows of past failures. Spring is coming.*

Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Does this sound like Haiku to you? Perhaps. perhaps not. But it's original poetry, nonetheless, odd and offbeat and definitely compact!

A BONIC LADY OBSERVATION: When things go wrong in your life, do you often wonder "why me"? Answer: It's because God hates you. Yes, the very same God who does not exist. It's a pickle, that's for sure.
