Lewiston, NY

Riverside village
quaint without self-consciousness,
where arts mix with charm.

Niagara Falls

Just water on rock.
And yet, sheer power compels
visitors to gape.

New mother

She curls around the
baby like a spiral shell
protecting its snail.

You take after your mother

My weirdness is as
apparent in my kids as
streaks in a fake tan.

500 haikus

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

April Fool’s Day

not sure what’s so fun
about a day when we’re all
afraid we’ll get punk’d

Why I need to sleep

When I stay up late
my thoughts move oddly like lab
mice stunted by drugs.

Insomnia bordering on insanity

Night winds roar like a
giant parent screaming “Go
to sleep!” without words.

Sexist comment from an unlikely source

haiku from Trisha who was there

Gay flight attendant
Shares gender stereotype
Astounds passengers

Silda Wall Spitzer

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