Sheela Na Gig
Haiku Number Eighteen From Song Lyrics
I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Eighteen is Sheela Na Gig by the awesome P J Harvey.
Sheela Na Gig
Raw strength cast aside,
I wash away your cruel words,
My hips deserve more.
Please check out the great poetry from Paul Stewart and Tina D. Lopez who have joined me for the ride and created some beautiful work:
