"Morning Memories" &
"Miscarriage"

I've had 4 miscarriages: Junior, Christmas Eve 1980; Kimberly Melissa, Aug. 25, 1987;
Angel Winter Dawn, Christmas Day 1989; Ashley Brooke, Sept.3, 1995.
I've written a couple of books of bereavement poetry, Whispers
In The Wind and Heartsongs, in memory of my babies. My next book will be
out later this year.
Here are two haikus I wrote in memory of my babies:
"Morning Memories"
Early morning light
gently edges away night.
Memories of you stay.
"Miscarriage"
Cold winter morning
silence measures lonely hours,
tears for life unlived.
