Three Haiku for 9/11 (written 9/11/11)
Nine in the morning.
One home–work, phone; Beth tells me
One fact: “Planes crash.” Me: “What!?”
Why haven’t they done
what they should? No good happens
when no reaching happens.
Daughter arrives home.
At door. She asks. I tell. Her
question “Why do they hate us so?!”
Haiku re a 4-year-old’s questions (9/11/11)
Driving home from school–mundane,
Traffic light, we stop. He asks
“Mommy, can God die?”
Haiku–From Norway Maple to Drum 8/31/11
My silver maple,
Felled by hard wind and harsh rain,
Your heart will beat again.
Haiku–Morning light on Jamaica Pond 9/4/11
Diffuse morning light,
Ripples shimmery as silk;
Sense of softness surrounds.
