i.
Living so near the
Equator, how do you explain
your frigid heart?

ii.
Go straighten your hair
Look nice for all the dudes that
you won't ask to dance

iii.
Private secret held -
I have days that glisten and
No one sees but me

Children always know
Who they are, who they can be
Love them, step aside

Layers of winter hardship
Peel off in sunshine

So unrest and frustration

green shoots and scented blossoms
a change of season

A haiku about strawberry helicopters

Can't say something nice?
Strawberry helicopters!
Say something surreal.
