A haiku for Mayfly!!

« previous entry | next entry »

I went home at lunch to discover that I've sold a haiku to Mayfly for $10!

So, I'm tossing confetti around and dancing on the table because I've always wanted to sell something there.

Unfortunately, the haiku was inspired by a $178 speeding ticket coming back from the Yuki Teikei teahouse reading in May.

So, I guess I'm still out $168.

But I'll bet that cop's never published any haiku, so 100 years from now his name will be forgotten but your poem will remain. :)

Nonsense. I only write poetry for the tons of money.
