Wrapped in spider's webs -
What's wrong with that? Don't knock it
until you've tried it.

Until you’ve tried it
don’t jump into the water.
You may get surprised.

by things that bump in the night -
bump, bump, bump, bonk, eek!

bump, bump, bump, bonk, eek!

First experience

he is rear-ended.

He is rear-ended.
Gone from arsehole to manhole.
Okipa. Kinda.

Post modern haiku,
something I can never do -
Explain what it means.

Explain what it means
is not hard. Climb up two floors,
there, good example.

Condescension, two floors up.
Looking down, smiling.

Count Vlad fantasized.

Count Vlad fantasized -
but everything was at stake.
A thought impaled him.

A thought impales him –
compared with other poets’ works
his like rotten eggs.

Fried rotten pancakes

Down with cowardice and fear.

"You’ve copped...." his last words,

Great opening lines
are wasted by weak endings -
Tiger’s head, snake’s tail.
