INSTINCTS #17: ‘Hot Pursuit Goes Underground…’ by John H. Dromey

First INSTINCTS poem for the year!

Please enjoy another haiku (double) by regular contributor, John H. Dromey!

Hot Pursuit Goes Underground, Hostage Unharmed

                        John H. Dromey

His sweetheart kidnapped
A spelunking samurai
Rushed to her rescue

With his katana
Hiro slew the abductor
Inter the dragon
