Haikus: All performed by Bill Merk

Written by Rosemary Bryerton-Schiff

Her lips even the cherry jealous

Shaking the petals smoothing out her favorite blouse with the violets

That summer we picked blackberries purple kisses

Love is short forgetting long broken comb beside the sink

Blue snow holds the shadows memory garden

“Meeting the Mugger” by Norma Fox Mazer

–In 1988 Mazer said:

“I hesitate to say I’m delivering messages….I’m writing stories and novels. I hope there’s an underlying feeling for the reader — a hope, perhaps a moral. But I’m not preaching. I’m telling stories”. 

“Lizard Boy” by Peter Andrews

–Friendship, gotta take the good & bad and a little crazy.
