Haiku For The Painted Lady In The Night { A Hexad Haiku } Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

A Modern-Contemporary Haiku
in a Hexad styled format &
w/the syllabic requirement
of Traditional Haiku Verse.


Waiting For Takers,
Dressed like a Dali Painting,
Abstract And Misplaced...

Look In Your Mirror,
Your Beauty Is Masqued by Years-
Of self-respect Lost.

Your Soul Still Shines Bright
Underneath Your Painted Guise;
You're Too Good For This...

Dangerous Night Work
Sugar Daddy Says you're His;
Are You Real Estate?

I know The Real You,
You're Not That Woman in Paint
Girl, Take Off The Masque.

Time You Walk Away
From Dark Corners and
Never, Ever Look Back.
