New York City from the air

Like a jeweler
displaying gems on velvet
wealth gleams beyond reach

I’ve lied to you

A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Tina Fey’s new black

Reclaiming the word,
she grabs the bitch by the horns
and makes us all proud.

Negative campaigning

With all this trash talk
even the winner comes out
smelling like garbage.

Gary Busey on the red carpet

Anyone who makes
Ryan Seacrest sweat deserves
a special Oscar.

Oscar red carpet

So hungry but the
dress fits stumble past photogs
smile stop nod pose smile.

Night before the Academy Awards

Dreams of Oscars like
sugarplums dance in their heads.
Hollywood’s Christmas.

Urban outfitted

Going to New York
City. I’ve bought black clothing,
black low-heeled shoes.

St. Croix prices

At Schooner Bay, iced
tea – 60 cents at Big Lots –
is nearly three bucks.

Gentlewomen’s lament

God rest ye merry
gentlemen? I don’t see them
lifting a finger!
