This is a collection of her haiku from during her life and of others, and inspiration from her faith.

I am a junior, Interdepartmental major with my focuses in Religion, English, and Theatre. My collection is inspired my life, life of others, and my strong faith, “My Lighthouse”.


fresh pie for my friend
made of cold earth
Happy Birthday


high heels dragging
dusty dresses
Mom’s make-up


love—
warm rain on the face
feels perfect

 


like bark of a sycamore
divorce sickens
…strength


rays of sun bursting
through my heart
“the light of the world”

 


faith, family
          and friends
my lighthouse
