Creature Feature: Tanka & Haiku

By Jerome Berglund



the witching hour

occupied Paris airstrip

resistance fighter and gremlin

share ice cream cones

plot sabotages ruthless



death a cop-out

houngan wants enemies ancient

and agonized

to enjoy decades of bad years

at the end be begging for relief



eternal city…

Hungarian countess

supplies beauty tips
