Dubois in 5-7-5 Time

As the snow builds outside and we settle in to await the end of winter, take a deep breath and enjoy a few vivid haiku poems inspired by life in Dubois. Thanks to Mary Ellen Honsaker for the privilege of posting them.

Fingers spread, stove’s warmth,
curled dog at feet in fire’s glow
log’s gift understood

Red cliffs lead sheep down
like a shepherd from the fold
watered, fed, they climb

River, glacier, wind
each flowed through my valley home
sculptors of my heart
