Ides of November Caesar you need not beware For five more months yet. 4/. ‘No Money Diet’ Surest way to lose your weight Author puts it on 5/. Method actor fired For asking motivation Behind zombie role. Arthur Chappell

I steer clear of poetry online - most of it just makes me cringe and feel embarrassed for the authors. But I enjoy your haikus.

An excellent selection as usual. Hard boiled rain, so dangerous. I like the method actor, lol.

I don't really like this verse form, but I like these. Very clever.
