Queens of Five Kingdoms

Haiku is a Drag

By Amos GladePublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read
The Pteetneet Cryptic

A mother she had

Five daughters, and five kingdoms

She had one for each

Kingdom of crows for

The first, regent of murder,

Garnished with a rose

The second received

The Kingdom of masks, spirit

For eternity

The third went slightly

Bananas, living left in

The Kingdom of hand

Kingdom of coffee

The choice for the creative

Java sovereign

The baby given

Tapas, the kingdom best known

For supreme flavors

The mother went on

And had two more daughters, one

Housed among the stars

The seventh sister

Never more than a broken

Doll, hidden from sight

The eighth sister she

Never existed, victim

Of loves sacrifice
