Made-Up Haiku
Macy’s, you temptress
parade your wares openly
not one bit sheepish
your makeup counter
so shiny and full of hope
this cream removes years
beautiful shadows
many hues for day and night
blue like seventh grade
lipgloss so shiny
it’s a plumper you say, smile
I like name – buxom
buxom in my bag
face done like unemployed clown
many compliments
forced to wonder if
at thirty-four might need more
than just mascara
might benefit from
make-up lessons and products
not found at Target
