Jack Horne Poet Haiku

My Ode To the Netherlands

a moonlit stroll - -
ladies in underwear
wave from windows

tea in a  café  - -
the smell of coffee and
marijuana 

tourists yawn - -
customs men search a coach 
from Amsterdam

written 21st April for Elly’s contest

wish I'd been permitted to write about the beautiful tulips, windmills and cheese, LOL

Connie Marcum Wong April 30, 2014 at 1:35 AM Ah ladies of the night, and tourists are warned not to take any photos or they would. Loved your little glimpse into the night life. Of course the Coffee houses are open pretty much round the clock. I snuck some tulips in my poem Jack, but I just couldn't help it. The gardens were just off the beauty chart they were so breathtaking!
