Rosesong


Rosesong

*Don’t cry Janet Leigh*
heard it walking down Long Path-
rose did wink at me!

Janet Leigh August 2008

I loved seeing this haiku sprout on the pages of POETMEISTER, showing that Janet is still drawn to expression through her poetic roots. I commented:

So true, regardless of our personal pain, our struggles, our anxieties….still the birdsong fills the air, the flowers reach for the sun, and hide their petals from the moon, and all the sprites and fairies flock to remind us that pain is our human companion. We were born in pain. Pain is that which keeps our focus off lethargy, and juxtaposes beautifully when it subsides, and leaves a brief respite of joy or happiness.
