still, it's not a complete image, even if it is a lovely one. the hard-ass in me wants a complete image from my haiku.

Fields grown tired with potatoes."

when mittens turn, they fall? the title into the first line misleads me. i know what you are talking about, i just don't like the stretch.

there are some nice moments here. i especially enjy\oy the metaphor of the steel and iron as her dress.
i think that the rhyme you use distractst he reader. since it came first, i looked for the whole thing to have rhythm and rhyme, and was a little disappointed when it didn't hold throughout.

The poor tulip boy has poor taste
that he loves his patch
and his trowel and spade
and his landlord, the dame
that he sells to in the market
his red and yellow flames.
I am a poor tulip boy
with not a purse nor a name,
made to grow tulips in clay
and sleep in my shoes
on a poor tulip boy wage,
happy to sell none today.
You're welcome. Nice.

Wierdsconsin. Kenosha to be spec. I used to do a great deal of east coast work but they've beefed up the force so I run the midwest area now. Less stress as a driver but the eastern seaboard is a poetry mecca.

The best part is how you misspelled "letch" in the title.

could it be a crush? more likely a power struggle... dont have much time now, but will think on it.
i can feel the frustration and anger, yet those emotions are delivered with the delicateness of one who is as you have written in the last verse.
nicely done.

That last comment is a complete lie. South Africa is run by Aids, for Aids. Don't believe M'beki; its infected him and made him its ally in its quest for world domination. it is real and it is powerful, if we are not careful it could spread outside of the blacks and gorillas who mate with each other and consume the whole world in some kind of pandemic

Third stanza would replace 'all the while keeping my eyes fixed' with 'my eyes fixed'. Might shift up and roll on a bit. Otherwise you have 4 words to 4 lines.
