Sr. Benedicta, OSH

Sister Benedicta has been writing haiku for at least ten years and is the recipient of several prizes. Here are some examples.

Many leafless trees--
It is time to make friends now
With the evergreens.

Clouds in a puddle
Beside the mourning dove
That paces the ground.

During the Gospel
A spider on a silk thread
Gleams in the sunlight.

A June evening--
The traffic control cones
Brightly blooming.

A gull balances
Upheld by the snow-filled fog
Turns and vanishes.
