A Life Worth Living - A Collection of Haikus
April 13, 2011
BIRTH
New. Blackness opens
to light, gore and mother’s warmth.
A new life begins.
GROWTH
Ride a bike, skinned knee
Wedding bells in the steeple
A swing on the porch.
DEATH
Sickly, weak, and gaunt
In a bed with plush pillows
Now an empty shell.
END
Beyond the world’s edge
Soaring with graceful beauty
Never to return.
