Love Poem: Haiku

Haiku

Bird shat on my car
Spent afternoon at car wash
Bird followed me home


Playing poker now
Everyone reading my face
My wager; all in


Having a small pair
Pushing in an all in bet
River hit; awesome


Scoring my dog food
My spot playing hide and seek
Enjoying my nod


I grind for hours
Rowing against bad rivers
Good cards; finally


Alone in the dark
To adore and love oneself
Thank stars for lotion
