Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Indian Giver the Healer

.
                                          Gatherer of Herbs
                           Storer of tree limbs, leaves, shrubs, love
                                         His cures a free gift
                 
                                         Gift of his knowledge 
                                         Free to early settlers
                                         Pharmacies use now

John Freeman December 26, 2010 at 8:55 AM Many of these cures were used and did the trick Sara, which goes to prove that it is faith in Love which is the underlying real lasting healing balm. I love your take on the contest. Agape, Moses

Harry Horsman December 8, 2010 at 7:19 PM very informative Sara, enjoyed this. Harry

Andrea Dietrich December 8, 2010 at 1:07 PM ok, i see what you did, you made limerick on this theme for the contest. Way to go, Sara. I think you theme is wonderful.

Andrea Dietrich December 6, 2010 at 10:33 PM quite informational, Sara, I really enjoy how you put a postive spin on "giver" cool idea!!!

Matthew Anish December 6, 2010 at 7:40 PM I am quite intrested in Native american culture myself. I attend the pow - wow they have in Brooklyn every year. They are very spiritual people - and I think you are too. Peace and Blessings Matthew Anish

Dr.Ram Mehta December 6, 2010 at 1:28 PM Very thoughtful and meaningful haiku on Indian Giver.

Carolyn Devonshire December 6, 2010 at 12:04 PM So much truth to this poem, Sara. The FDA keeps giving approval to manmade drugs and then later taking them off the market. We could learn a lot about the healing powers of nature's gifts from the Native Americans. Awesome entry for the contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn

Audrey Haick December 6, 2010 at 10:45 AM Wishing you good luck in the contest, Sara. Yes, forgotten are the Indian healers of yesterday. Love, Audrey
