a series of haiku in which nature is partnered with religion


devotion has it
we should love the Earth as God
has made all wondrous


breathing in and out
some days it’s hard for nature
thick by pollution


white and pink blossoms
Japan gives us cherry trees
to bloom in D.C.


shall the Earth give back
opens not what we deserve
receiving seasons


all the problems here
co-op of virtue and fall
first to third chapters


praying goes to God
not thought but by intention
doubt also received

responding to Claudius in Hamlet at 3.3.97-98
