Marie Howe, NY State Poet under the auspices of the NYS Writers Institute, selected haikus about New York City in a National Poetry Month contest in the New York Times.
Here are two entries:
On the 6 to Spring
two cops help a tourist whose
map is upside down
Beware the puddle
of indeterminate depth
that swallows boots whole
