First job

At the interview
J’s hired on the spot, full of
new employee glee.

Honey, I’m home!

Has it really been
a month since I told you all
about my day, dear?

Prom date

Deciding who to
take like negotiating
Mideast peace treaty.

500 haikus

From a Revealing
start to this auspicious point –
my life in short form.

Visiting colleges

Muddy quads, walls bare
of ivy still inspire awe.
Can we get in?

Why I’ve been absent

Haiku, like bonsai,
needs care and pruning. A mind
unfocused kills both.

Silda Wall Spitzer

Wan, pale, red-eyed, she’s
the poster wife of Wynette’s
song, “Stand By Your Man.”

Eliot Spitzer

When a righteous man
is caught with his pants down, it’s
likely he’ll get spanked.

Obama: Candid Date

It’s said women swoon
at his rallies, yet his wife
once called him stinky.

Among extraordinary women

I am the dull one, struck
mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.
