Poem/a/day: Skinny Greyhound Haiku

By Bill Castanier on April 19, 2011

Skinny Greyhound Haiku

John Peter Beck

Boredom,

not boarding.

Still life:

woman,

ticket,

bench.

No lover,

no bus.

John Peter Beck is Associate Professor and Director of the Labor Education Program at Michigan State University and a poet.
