Juliet Cook on “Another Pie in the Face”
In "Another Pie in the Face," my brain attempts to format feelings about cracking, aging, disability, and other forms of rearrangement into a semi-broken doll/human haiku hybrid. Standard haiku rules tend towards three lines with 5/7/5 syllables, no title, and nature-based imagery. My haiku format starts with a title, has four stanzas with three lines of 5/7/5 syllables, and insinuates that an old human/doll hybrid is part of my brain's nature.
