In Your Words
Vera Charline Wareham
|
Learning the Art of Haiku.
*** dawn after the storm a wall of twisted roots beloved tree down
*** lonely lips frown new toys in cedar chest await grandchildren
*** a brown eye glints turning amber the last sunray
*** tears wet cheeks a chirping finch fluffs splattering raindrops
*** interlacing dead branches lightning streaks
*** the crooked branch reflects in a puddle where a leaf floats
*** clinging to edges Crepe Myrtle blossoms fall in pink torrents |

Charline considers herself a poet and an artist and a seeker of truth, and has never related her value to what she does for a living, which has been an array of things: from carpenter’s helper in the strength of her youth, to belly dancer for her own balloon delivery business, to assembly line work and then coordinator of communications with Motorola – to name a few. She is a native Texan, but loves to travel, enjoying the outdoors and adventure. Living rather secluded in the Texas woods for the past fifteen years, she holds dear her solitude and time for reflection. On the balance, she also enjoys meeting new people and experiencing new things and ideas, with her solitary escape always waiting for her when she needs it. Her writing and photographic art have been sold and shown sporadically throughout America – primarily through the internet, because of her reclusive qualities. At present this artist/author is working on a book tentatively to be called Patchwork Faces of the Moon. Charline is also web master of four sites, the first and very massive site is called Through My Window.
