Oh yeah. This is a good one. Very funny. But is Spike your real name or your pen name? Yes, you know that feeling when youre walking through the projects, feeling terror at every step lol. But wait. It gets better. Then you have to get on the elevator.

    LoL. I know, right? Spike was just a little exaggeration for the piece. Ha. Thank you for the great review and stars, CG. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

This is an interesting, thought provoking poem. I find your choice of words unusual. Why are the slums dear to you, when you obviously consider them murderous? Much to ponder here. Good luck in the contest.

    They're not all that 'dear' but that's how the contest sponsor wants us to start the piece out. The hugs and kisses is just being sarcastic. LoL. Thank you for the great review and stars, Katherine.

Haha! Your picture pairs so perfectly with the words of your poetry. Spike looks as though he has done quite well in the slums of New York. You've also given him a name that is appropriate for a gangster. This should do well in the Thank you Haiku contest. Best wishes.
