Face Time (Haiku)
Flutist misses cue.
Conductor settles the score.
Time to face music.
*****
Botoxified face,
once intelligent with age,
now frozen wasteland.

So that’s a no ot botox then? Funny…in a scary way!
How do you miss 1,2,3,4?
…What do I know about classical music?
“Botoxified face” lol-I think you may have coined a new word Mad.
If so, Merriam Webster better give you credit for it.
Speaking of botoxified faces-Goldie Hawn was on TV the other day. not good. I would much rather see a beautiful woman age with grace than someone who is just a gravity defying, plastic caricature of their former selves.
Loved what you said about the botox! That expressionless, wrinkleless, lost your uniqueness look does nothing for me.
Performance review:
According to the Maestro,
This guy really blows.
Botoxified face :D
These are both excellent, but I especially love the second one! Frozen wasteland indeed! ;) Great writes!!!
the second has me laughing botoxified? Ohhhh too damn funny!
LOL! Both are wonderful. The first hits home personally, as does the second as I age and am having trouble embracing the wrinkles around my mouth!
“now frozen wasteland” – what an ending. I love it!
Thanks so much to all of you. Both haiku were fun to write. And I find a lot of famous people, like Scott’s Goldie Hawn example, frightening to look at. Between the Botox and the surgery — ugh!!!!!
I just LOVE the haiku – the second one especially. It’s just brilliant! :)
Thanks so much, shammi!
people dont like to see marks of age on their own faces, naive and sometimes dangerous- these operations sometimes cause great harm.

That’s so true, Trisha.
Wow, such chilling imagery…frozen wasteland, so much natural beauty lost…
Thanks, Cynthia.
