Why Not Poetry
In times of distress, it is natural to seek inspiration for reclaiming a positive mental state. While the current economic woes are real, it is planned optimism that fuels the determination to overcome this recession. The haikus below are dedicated to affected workers and their companies as we all take measure of this shared experience in our resolve to end it.
After the quake
The weathervane
Pointing to earth
- Micheal Dylan Welch
The earth quakes
Just enough
To remind us
- Steve Sanfield
When the spade turns
The earth in our garden
How different it is
- Ion Codrescu
