Women and Artichokes III

 

 


Cinquain

women and artichokes

bees dance
a song of life—
their busy thrumming tells
of sweet plunder found within each
petal

 

 

ancestors

each line,
every pattern
is part of a puzzle
written within each leaf, each smile—
God sent

Haiku

a box of crayons
64 colors but she
always takes purple

Women and Artichokes

Love is
an artichoke
with my pearl-handled knife
I have cut the moist heart, giving
you half.
