Carolyn Devonshire Poet Haiku

In My Wildest Dreams

five, seven, five craze
poet’s mind becomes obsessed --
visions of seasons

all four blend as one
melting pot of poetry --
eating more than words

winter puts pounds on
spring has us on a diet --
words spew more slowly

bikini summer
Brad Pitt leaves Jolie for me --
in my wildest dreams
