She never saw it passing 
She lived in her dreams

Life is too short to bother 
With top drawer nonsense

Haiku Month and a New eBook


It's almost September, which around here also means that is time for classic movie haiku! I loved doing this last year, so I'm back for another month of three-line fun. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll be posting a new haiku.

And there's more haiku-related news! (Can you ever have too much?)

I've just published my second ebook: Classic Movie Haiku. It's available on Smashwords and a screaming deal at 99 cents! Most of the 100 haiku have been written especially for the book, though I have also included everything I've posted here.

It comes in loads of formats, including Kindle, Epub, PDF and online reading. Basically, if you have a reader or a computer, you should be able to access it.

Check it out--and if you like what you see, please consider leaving a review or throwing me a Facebook like at Smashwords!

Don't forget that you can still download my first ebook: Classic Hollywood Wit for free at Smashwords as well.

Watch out for dames with dark twins

The beast who was torn from home
'Twas men setting sail

Or that dashing cleft

Haiku: Peter Ibbetson (1935)



He dreams for hours
Of the Duchess of Towers
And touches her hand
