Thoughts on the events of 9/11/2001:

Decide, mother, who goes without.
Is it Rama, the strongest,
or Baca, the weakest,
who may not need it much longer,
or perhaps Sita?
Who may be expendable?
Decide, mother;
kill a part of yourself
as you resolve the dilemma.
Appadura (a poem from India)

"Haiku is the capturing of experience in the fashion of Zen and
the recording of the feeling/emotional content of that moment."

- Ed Chew, Sunday 27 June 1999

Haiku by Ed Chew: On Love On Being

John Frary is also a friend and fellow poet:

After standing boldly and wholy upright on top of the southern horizon, the
mighty warrior Orion slowly retreats, then cowers shamefully behind Yokia
Mountain, as the brilliant moon rises in the northeast. Then Sirius -- the
brightest ( yet inferior) star, shimmers diamond blue, red and green for a
brief moment at the very top of the world, and then feebly dissipates into a
faintly glowing ember.
