Don't look at my face.
No change, just large bills.
One wrong move will be your last.

haiku
Found in 'Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years', edited by Jim Kacian, Philip Rowland, Allen Burns.
Review: The poetry book 'Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years' is a fine collection of English-language haiku from Ezra Pound and Wallace Stephens onward. This poem is actually found in the Authors' Foreward.
This is the first poem other than my own to be featured in this blog. Since it is one I found in a book, this post is officially a review of that book and a sample of the delights to be found within.

For poets who don't have a MFA from an elite university, aren't beloved of the progressive movement and NPR, and who don't want to write poetry that rants the standard socialist rants....
And for readers that want vivid words and explosive images but maybe don't care for the worldview of some of today's poets...
Magdalena Lamont is here for you.
