Poetry from David Kopaska-Merkel

can't talk my teen self

out of that second date

father paradox


-----

Cinderella

married the Prince

maid's tight dress


-----

Ice Age wanes


every generation

the village moves


the last midden still

visible at low tide

not the graves


-----

Mom and Dad's

Pleistocene honeymoon

born 10,000 years late

  1. Stimulating material. I’ll probably think of these and their shades of meaning/implications for a while. Am I wrong in assuming that they’re a sort of experimental haiku?
