AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING
–
Fall plantings are in,
Cabbages, hardy mums bloom…
Autumn colors glow!
–
Warm days–cooler nights
Ushering those southward flights…
Noisily birds fly.
–
Harvest time each year,
Dresses and skirts lower hems…
Less yield for the men!
–
Snow birds fly or drive,
Commuting to stay alive…
Rubber tires fly!
–
Children play in leaves,
Hot chocolate sales go up…
Deserted beaches!
–
Eggs and produce come
Veggies come from foreign lands…
Locally–now!
–

HONORARY MOMMA!
–
At ninety years’ old
Aunt Myrt makes the scene…
Being salt and light
Where Diana has been.
–
When times were rough
In Diana’s life…
You welcomed her into
Your home to be safe.
–
Our favorite Aunt,
For Diana and me…
You’ve always been kind
Serving Eternity.
–
We love and cherish
Your mothering ways…
The family members
Whose spirits you;ve raised!
–
Taking care of your Mom,
Elmer’s, Di’s too…
Describing God-Love
We always think “You”!
–
Your nintieth birthday:
We all will shout
Of Diana’s three Mothers,
You are cherished–NO DOUBT!!!!
