Interesting People on the Fringe: This Week - Leo Koster!

Leo Koster in Seven Haikus

Red house on Dayton

Once sheltered familiar dreams,

Now spent and rented.

Surrounded by junk,

Concrete rubble, detritus,

Forlorn and scary.

Why do short people

Always act like they must prove

Themselves before us?

Did he have a job?

He was often seeking work,

But it escapes me.

How can such a man

Be so opinionated,

Loudmouthed and self-sure?

Homebrewing requires

Skill, patience, and sometimes luck.

His mead was tasty.

A good cook indeed,

A good dishwasher would have

Been a better deal.
