At the Mausoleum

photo CarpeDiem1stAnnivOct13_zpsf8e11933.jpg

Greasy beggars chant
before the mausoleum,
hoping for some coins.

~~ ~~ ~~

Who desires to grieve
at Lenin’s mausoleum?
Insidious plan!

~~ ~~ ~~

Poets will reveal
the mausoleum’s meaning,
stirring up the night.

  I think the one about Lenin, while true, is a little less than lovely! 😉

    yes Lenin is not lovely.Lovely was the wrong word to use. I’m thinking I’ll reconsider and say insightful.

I’m not sure I’m ready to have the night stirred, so those poets had better chill for a while! 😉

The first haiku took me back to France in an instant…the beggars outside Sacre le Couer.

  Don’t you just love the moments when you connect with literature and it connects with you, even if the connection is tenuous? Glad that this little piece was able to take you across the ocean! 😉
