For me, it was yesterday.

Innocent lips?
Is that what you see
when I smile demurely?—
sweet little old me

coy eyes?
Is that what you think
when I bashfully blink?

sharp teeth?
don't be silly
you're funny!

maybe give me
a little bite
of your time?

Come sit by me
I'll show you
how innocent
I can be.

The wind is lonely,
A soulful sound,
She pushes clouds,
Shivers the leaves,
Finds the gaps,
She draws patterns,
Sings a song,
Writes her poems,
On wings and kite strings.

I feel the same way. Michael Rehling needs to take care of himself now.
This is a great poem! Failed Haiku was one of the first journals to accept my work as well. It's a big loss.

I will miss Failed Haiku; it was one of the first journals that ever published me. Thanks, Mike Rehling and all the other editors over the years.
