Poetry 16 - Half(ish) Shakespeare

In the layers of
haikus unfinished,
and between the lines
of poetic lies
is where I reside.

Tampering with rules -
and making my own
and making lame jokes
and glibly dancing -
syllabically
tampering with rules.

Cut Shakespeare in half,
toss out the rhyme scheme,
the historical,
wordy pertinence,
and you will get me.

Oh, yea, also add
poor punctuation.
