James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Haiku

You'Re What Makes Me Flinch-

jump bad, jump back wince
hid I around the corner
surprised recoiled quake

shiver, tremble, shake
boo!  to you ha made you jump
bla! made you cower

cringe, squirm, quiver, blench
you jump made you hesitate
withdrawn shudder shrink

made you stop and think
shy away, drawback withdraw
boo! Ha! made you flinch


through shock, fear, or disgust
shot sharp needle in the arm
you what makes me “flinch”
