From the South

By Andrew Hawes, PM — Jr. Warden

Sometimes you just try

to say something meaningful

and nothing comes out.

Sometimes you just can't.

You want to, you try to, but...

things don't always work.

When I have these times,

I fall back on poetry-

and write some haiku.

Haiku doesn't judge.

It's form is always the same-

It's five, seven, five.

We should try at times

to be more like haiku are:

Simple and honest.

Sincerity and 

plain dealing distinguish us-

Sometimes... that is enough.
