Every Wednesday at 12noon Lovelorn Poets offers the Lunch-time Missed Connections Haiku Special. Well, for those of you on the east coast it’ll be lunch time. West-coasters will have haiku for breakfast. Maybe someone could try to condense what I just wrote into a haiku! Post a comment or email your ideas to saysomething@lovelornpoets.com.
Consider the Cicada (plus: a haiku)
Missed Connections in Manhattan
i will try every day to
consider the cicada
who, for seventeen years,
slept
under the earth, and
tomorrow, when she sees
her first daylight and sings
her last song, i will not ask
why.
–
blind
the blind man and i
both fear shouting in darkness
lest we go unheard
