Make Me Feel
A Haiku
Pull your fingers through
My tresses, dark and tangled;
Beat my spirit blue

AUGUST 1976
I was listening to some reaction videos on the internet the other day when I "re-discovered" one of THE greatest and uniquely American songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I forgot that Arlo Guthrie comes from a sturdy stock of great folklorists-namely his father Woody Guthrie. I associate Arlo with "Alice's Restaurant", so much so that I forgot he is an exceptional storyteller in his own right.

Gorgeous haiku! Impressively evocative
Very vivid imagery - congrats, Raquel!
Congratulations! Well done!
Lovely and evocative. Congratulations on your win
I think a lot of poetry falls on the wrong side of the border between subtle and powerful; not yours. This is gorgeous. Thank you 💙
