The sweetness of a

gruff man singing while he plays

a black piano.

Tom Waits has the perfect cigar and bourban voice.

I heard it!

I love it!

I read it three times!

I love how the haiku form can just make the brain go "ping!"

The piano's been drinking ... not me!
Penina F. May 31, 2007, 11:09am EDT
Yes... ping!... that really nails what a haiku does!

Peter and Deb, I am *honored*. Thanks so much for your enthusiastic feedback!

Penina... lovely tribute. You never know what you'll find underneath the exterior of a man. It is best to look hard and listen.

Raising a son and explosively expanded my appreciation for men. What a crazy world we have all created -- and how amazing are humans that we persist at being beautiful anyway!
