The Monthlies
Winner January 2010
How bad it gets is also how
human it gets. So many folks
in their stained glass houses
lying to their spouses. You disdain them
for their secrets. Their weakness.
Their inability to come clean, to say: this
is what I like. I want to live like this.
-Jennica Harper, What It Feels Like for a Girl
A Haiku by Elizabeth Warren
painting on poppy red lipstick
I create
someone else’s smile
Elizabeth’s award-winning haiku have been included in numerous anthologies, read on the CBC and performed in Canada & Japan.
