Reader Haiku
My wishes came true and readers responded with some wonderful haiku:
(in order received)
Mike S.
I am out of touch
Celeb gossip is now news
How long will we sleep?
Don E.
unwinding we come
spinning leaves from trees to drop
swallows returning
Sherry P.
Extinguish Bear Stearns
the summer heat now portends
lasting winter burns
And by way of humble gratitude, I offer this:
Out of nothingness
readers create new beauty
Haiku gods smile
