Haiku
I'm A Bagel
They say I'm too much I know that they're not enough I keep shining bright!!! Today's poem is inspired by Barbra Streisand's I'm the Greatest Star from the movie Funny Girl. If you don't know the movie, my title comes from a line where Fanny (played by Barbra) describes herself as "a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls" when comparing herself to more conventionally attractive women.

Look Back
Yesterday is gone but should we not look back for lessons for today Author’s Note: This is day five of the fifty-day song/lyric-inspired haiku challenge. Today’s poem is brought to you by “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks in particular; they’re easily among my favorite if not my favorite performers.
