My insomnia blankets the night.
Slumber teases — declines to alight.
So I toss and I turn
In my bed, as I yearn
For release from my sleep-deprived plight.

Conductor settles the score.
Time to face music.

once intelligent with age,

Accidental Haiku
Saturday, March 5th, 2011It makes me fidget,
but I book myself to write
accidental verse.
*****
Accidental glance,
de-liberating romance—
just the dance of chance.
*****
Shocking incident:
things accidentally went
exactly as planned.
*****
Ms. Bristol Palin’s
book contract and dancing gig—
accident of birth.
*****
Booked reservation
at restaurant, but canceled—
had reservations.
*****
If you dare mention
certain odd affinities,
brace for fidgeting.

Dear Prattlers
Thursday, February 24th, 2011Dear Prattlers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear prattlers, I beg you — stop talking.
If you don’t, I’ll escape. Watch — I’m walking.
I have pains in each joint,
As I wait for your point.
Oh my no! It’s insurance you’re hawking?
Update: June 28 is National Insurance Awareness Day.
