Description
Green Lakes in winter
the brittle silence broken
by passing footsteps
This haiku was written following a family hike in Green Lakes State Park on a very typical wintery day. We were enjoying the stillness as we walked through the pine trees. The silence was suddenly broken by several hikers as they passed us on the path. Their footsteps echoed loudly, the broken silence palpable.
Haiku has become a lifelong passion. I particularly enjoy re-reading my poems, which became mini memories of many “moments in time.”
I am currently working on a children's book on haiku, tentatively titled “Earth Poems: The Nature of Haiku.”
This is my third year participating in the Syracuse Poster Project, and I still feel blessed to be able to help bring public art to the Central New York region. I believe that public art has the ability to unify and connect different people within any community. The idea of unity is what inspired my design. Our local region has many beautiful resources that can be enjoyed alone or with others. Whether we enjoy all that our community has to offer by ourselves or with each other, we are reminded how lucky we are to share our wonderful resources. These places are wild, free, and accepting of all who close to respect them.
