Fairytale
Nightmare:
Selected Haiku
by
Allisha
Komala
dedicated
to Elaina, my sister
the inspiration for my haiku
Writing
haiku has helped me to express myself in a brand new way.
I have chosen these particular haiku because I feel that they
reflect me as a poet and a person. I hope you enjoy reading
them. I think one can walk away from every haiku knowing or
understanding something he didn't before.

little
duckling feet
wading through puddles
I in my yellow slicker

|
drunken
shadows outside
my hotel window
they're Italian
|
after
the fight
I am swallowed
by bedsheets torn
|
|
|
you
never recover
forever tortured
. . . picked last in kickball . . .

a
friday
wasted
(I hate you Kevin Costner)

it
always rains on Halloween
every year
I'm an unhappy witch

puppet
show on the Metro
GUNSHOT!
the puppeteer continues
