Now little men
Attempt #deluxe redux
Pine to be kings
In a deluge of luxury
Leave drought for the rest

Today I am a Mariner
I'll not heed the #undertow
Of pundits with predictions
Of how these games will go
Will we win out or face a rout
In this game of balls and sticks
I cannot say, but if you're not for Seattle
Enjoy this bag of.......

Danger #piranha
She laughed at the signs
Dangling fingers

Little nibbles
Leave nothing but her smile

As she remembers Disneyland
And those she cannot recall

I
#raincoats and wool hats
Seattle scorns umbrellas
Fashionably moist

II
Eating apples in the rain
Vision of red and yellow
Takes a McIntosh
From his Macintosh
To share like a good fellow.

III
Wife's full length clear #raincoat.
~Love poem

A dollop of #verve
A smidgen of sass
This haiku really kicks....
