HAILING MARY


HAILING MARY                     
(A Haiku Quintet)

Gardening Mary...
Her fruit of love blossoming...
The Christ child is born...  

Her Rose of Love, born:
Crucified stem…petals of resurrection;
Gracefully scenting:-

Gardener’s womb flows…
Her ripe fruit of love is here…
Let’s cistern it’s fruit…

Hailing Art Deco Era

Art Deco with her thin women
Pointed noses
Uppity attitudes
Elegant manner of dress

Curly ques made just so
Her flapper fringes
rivaling her outrageous hemlines

Art Deco with her ultra-modern ways
so shocking in the forties
when we listened to our shows on the radio

Hailing-Pleiades

hail taxis day or night,
hazardously they drive,
hope I arrive alive,
hear all the traffic noise,
horns tooting full of scorn,
harsh looks are all around,
hang on your country bound.
