betsy pujols - Oct. 8 - Haiku + Poem -

A parking ticket,
outside, knocking on my door.

I don't want to pay!

Poem

Under her blanket she hides 

When there is no one to watch.

She cries alone at night

For the things she doesn't have.

Why do I feel like this? She asks.

If I have such a happy life,

Is it because I want more that I can have?

Is it because I am not satisfied?

Why don’t I have a castle in the sky?

Why don't I swim in feathers all the time?

Why can’t I stop dreaming all the time?

If the world around me, is not that bad!

Around wonders and thoughts

She falls sleep at last,

Making her dreams a living life!
