Poems in Haiku Style
For Mary Helen
On her birthday
Feb.8,1996
1. Sudden and harsh
The uncaring rain
Shattered the peony blooms.
2. Morning rose
Silver and blue
Matching the columbine.
3. When I failed
To see His Light
He filled my life with flowers.
4. Open and proud
The perfumed rose
Laughs in the arms of the wind.
5. A flower blooms
I speak its name
Known from an ancient past.
6. By my window
Finches fly
Golden through a golden sky.
7. Poised above me
A Being of Light
Blesses the earth eternal.
8. Gold and green
Two wondrous eyes
Peer from a pile of white fur.
