Verbal Snapshots

I recently collaborated with book artist Jane Vaughan on a project for the Word show at the Charles Taylor Arts Center.  Jane made a beautiful book and included some haiku I had written. Haiku appeals to me because I like the challenge of describing something in 17 syllables. Our collaboration inspired me to share my poems.  Some are haiku. Some are not true haiku because they don’t have a season word. And some are longer. I’ll be putting them on the Verbal Snapshots page as I post them….Karen

Today’s Verbal Snapshot:

Seeing my shadow

I turn toward the sunlight

And leave it behind
