Rare baths for
Queen Isabella –
Birth, marriage.
—
The latter
So groom was spared from
Holding nose.

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

God is a distant – Stately Lover –
Woos, as He states us – by His Son –
Verily, a Vicarious Courtship –
“Miles”, and “Priscilla”, were such an One –
But, lest the Soul – like fair “Priscilla”
Choose the Envoy – and spurn the Groom –
Vouches, with hyperbolic archness –
“Miles”, and “John Alden” were Synonym –
