Lucha Libre in Haiku
By Katy Spindler

Alan Stone, the joy
Of seeing his flying fringe
Mirrored by rippling abs

Resplendent in pink
Body slick with gel and grease
Mirror by his side

Of rudos, the prince
Like a jewel in the ring
Too soon was clobbered

——

Katy Spindler understands that Lucha Libre exists in the realms of awesomeness. WWF exists in the realm of barbed wire tattoos. See her blog at http://thoughtfulrabbit.blogspot.com.
