Temptation pulls me

Down a dangerous path

But I pay no mind

Thanks for reading!

This is inspired by Alyson Smith's challenge of writing a haiku a day for 50 days, inspired by songs and lyrics that are special to her.

So this is my ninth entry. Back in the dark recesses and forefront of my mind, this one is inspired by the awesome New York band, Television, from their stunning debut Marquee Moon!

Tina D. Lopez, Harper Lewis, Stephanie Hoogstad and my fellow Italian Sasha Desideri have also been doing this challenge.

Make sure you check out their poems at their profiles.
