Haiku for Henry Winner Announced
We are gratified by the over 150 entries we received for our first Haiku for Henry contest. In reading the poems we discerned several themes: descriptions of Henry's life and experience, references to Henry's political and philosophical legacy, and personal reflections on the natural world.
And The Winner Is...
FOR HENRY
Though you fathered none
How vast your seed's dispersal!
Entire earth your heir.

Probe a silent place
lichen, logs and humus
Where the sidewalk ends.

Today I know light,
Soft sounds, warm breeze. Today no
Need to simplify.

A TOLERABLE PLANET
Bare hands gently place
Compost 'round roots from a friend
Three lives are enriched.
