the river
swollen with spring ...
her stretchmarks

honeysuckle
through an open window
mother’s last breath
Daryl Nielsen






high noon--
the reed thrush sings
to a silent river

    It seems to me that the deep value of poetry,art in any form, is to move the reader with its beauty. All of these haiku have done this for me today. Just wonderful. Thanks to Don once again for putting them together - you've matched them beautifully.
