The Lamb and Lion Lunes**

Try opening Isaiah:
a lamb, meek and dumb
led to slaughter.

The royal lions
blocked up their mouths and
Daniel was spared.

Find the key
still further in the Books*
not in nature.

Victory at last!
The Lamb becomes the Lion
of Judah's tribe.

* The Greek word for 'Bible' (Biblia) is actually a plural.

** Lune (French for "moon"), invented by Robert Kelly in the 1960's.
 

 

 

 Haiku

Gaudete Sunday—
churchgoers' smiling faces
softening the cold




Setting up a crib
the child caresses
the donkey's head
