St. Nicholas came
During our growing-up years:
Parents’ love present.

Summoning the wings
Of angels to shield from pain
Brought joy and laughter.

Happy Anniversary to sixblocksfromthecity.com!
On November 14th, my first blog, sixblocksfromthecity.com, celebrated her third anniversary! Here’s one of my favorite haikus from the past year posted to my blog. Thank you all, dear readers, for your encouragement and support of my writing. Sending you all love.
Disillusionment … Again
Little girl crying
After they yell she’s no good.
Dream of otherness.
First Anniversary
Your soul awakens
Her to love she hadn’t known
As days filled a year.
First kiss as husband and wife. Photo by Clarice Bell, Don’s sister and matron of honor. The Plumas House, Reno, Nevada. Saturday, 12 October 2013.
Summer of 1974
Evil in a man
Raped from us our innocence:
Richard M. Nixon.
For Valentina & Christopher
Cafes in Venice
Give you la bella vita
And romance for two.
In These Times
The poet herself, ca 2000.
Abundance of love
Tickling tendrils of my soul:
Your hearts’ golden warmth.
Cheek Bones
Genovaite Josephine Ambraziejus as a teen, my mother before she became Genovaite Ambraziejus Cizauskas. 19 March 1926-15 August 2014.
Tracing my cheek lines
To find if your bones are mine.
My mother, my soul.
