Reading a Pattern
Both hands occupied
Fanciful swirl, casting on
Anything might come
Key words: knitting, casting on, patterns, haiku
For Phyllis, 4-12-13
Honoring a life
A woman I never knew
Save her mother’s love
On this flight tonight
Children fly the nest
May their what-ifs be all good
Their landings gentle
Flamingo–by Shirley J. Brewer
A vision in pink;
you balance on one long leg:
Teach me how to dance.
key words: Shirley J. Brewer, haiku, flamingo
Clarence
On the saxophone
Clarence Clemons’ heart
Riffs a distant night
key words: haiku, Janice Lynch Schuster, Bruce Springsteen, Clarence Clemons
What Elliot Said
How can April
Be named cruelest of them all?
Forsythias bloom!
Creation
Three a.m. knitting
Watching a prayer shawl emerge
My hands claim the words
Sky
Under April’s sky
I watch our dissolution
Falling on the ground
key words: rain, April, showers, spring
Mother and daughter
1. Any yellow thing
Reminds me of how quickly
She could name the trees—JLS
2. For Pat
How does it make sense
To speak of you in the past
You feel so present–Mary H. Lynch
