Holy Week
Holy week
lily flowers
wait to bloom
sometimes by sight
in my life of faith
apple trees in bloom
Time of Singing (Spring 2014)
Reprinted by Gene Meyers in his column, Celebrating Holy Week with Christian Haiku (2016), at the Haiku Society of America.
“Holy Week” was selected for my Poet Profile page in the Haiku Registry, at The Haiku Foundation.
Haiku are by Ellen Grace Olinger.
Palm Sunday
childhood memories
of singing in the choir
Palm Sunday
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
Haiku
new year sunrise
light fills
the red poinsettia
spruce tree branches
by the windows
each day a painting

CREATIVE NOTE: I am honored and grateful that two of my haiku appear in the new WestWard Quarterly, The Magazine of Family Reading. The magazine is published from Hamilton, Illinois, USA. Their readers and poets are international. My name there is written as Dr. Ellen G. Olinger. In 1987, I earned the Doctor of Education degree from Northern Illinois University. Thank you.
Happy New Year 2021
