Loretta Bacon - Poetry Readings 2006 -2007
HAIKU
A bird suspended
overhead in midst of flight
seemingly stops time.
A child without love
is a flower without soil
It withers and dies.
Born into this world
with bald heads and round bellies,
leaving the same way.
I stood behind you.
While I stood in you shadow
You stood in my light.
Loretta Bacon
