In Memoriam
lung cancer
the mystery
of her silence
her rooster display
greets me each morning
another new day
from roosters first call
to the end
her collection
Ronald Grognet is a retired
Clinical Psychologist who practiced private individual and family therapy for
thirty-five years. He lived and worked in Washington D.C., and Sarasota, FL
before retiring in New Orleans to be close to his grandsons. Besides his
volunteer time spent on disaster assignments for the Red Cross, he fills his
time devoted to haiku poetry. His interest in poetry came as a gift in
retirement. Reading an article about haiku filled with many examples, he
recognized its similarity to the reflective stance of the meditation he
practiced for many years. He has vigorously pursued its study for the last two
years, personally experiencing its healing and enlightening qualities.
The poem leaves me wondering about life. write again.
