FIVE HAIKU
super moon
mother goes quietly
back inside
funeral lilacs
my sister undoes
dad’s watch
worry stone
the shape of grief
worn smooth
after the cartwheel cumulus and i
carousel moving through my childhood

Tribute to Feminist Poets
__________
Roberta Beary: “As a poet I write about my experiences as a woman in a male-dominated world. Therefore I am a feminist poet. Side note: several male poet friends have told me (some even to my face) that I’m a bossy bitch. I take this as a compliment.” (website)
