Gregory Richard Barden Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Mr and Mrs Dumpty, Egg-Cidental Death

He lay there, shattered,

                    the shell of his former self,

          scrambled beyond hope ...



Not really her fault ...

                    all she wanted was a quiche,

          but she'd pushed too hard.
