My new work from the latest issue of 
World Haiku Review, March 2003


GUN VIOLENCE, a haiku sequence

seeming epidemic
random deadly shootings
in the land of the free

color them red
innocent victims
of gun violence

staring puzzled
at a deep black abyss
kins of murder victims

gun control debate
who's to blame: the gun
or the trigger man

chilly morning
she grabs me back to bed
a little longer

first day of spring
her love and orchids
are blooming

resplendent 
in her wedding gown
my daughter celebrates
her 31st anniversary
with the same man

icy sidewalk -
she refused his brown hand
then she falls down again
