HAIKU POETRY |
The Japanese
haiku poetic
form of 5-7-5 on
- often equated
with the English
syllable -
juxtaposes two
images or
ideas, usually
separated with
a cutting word.
For me, the
haiku poem is a
morsel to chew
on and digest
during the day
or days ahead.

We live in challenging times. Our future is uncertain. For many of us, each day is
filled with adversity and struggle. Using the compact Haiku verse, I call attention
to our struggle and to the situations that bind us.

NO COMPASSION
For sex, they enslave.
Kill children in greedy wars.
Men with calloused souls.

DISCONNECTED
Across the ether
we chatter on our cell phones,
feigning connection.
MARCH 2012
A PLACE IN THE SUN
Battered, abandoned,
love denied; seeking only
a place in the sun.
FEBRUARY 2012
TRAPPED
An eaglet shot down
talons snared in sludge, wings crushed.
Trapped in student debt.
