Forrest Hainline Biography

I am a retired trial lawyer living in San Francisco. As Jacques Maritain observed, poetry is the divination of the spiritual in the things of sense; for me, poetry is a place of calm, insight, and healing. I also find solace in my family and the martial art, Aikido. Thank you for reading my poems; I hope at least one of them touches you and helps you order your world.

Lilacs and daffodils can be found
Pulsing up from the dead ground
And birds long gone return to sing
