an inchworm
humps and straightens--
purple dusk

    miss lyles,your haiku are what i would expect
    from a gentrified southern lady. very well
    written, but lacking bite. you're also very
    good with all of the well worn haiku cliches'such as "luna moth" etc. readers digest is calling
    you.
