"PLAINS SONG (A HAIKU CHAIN)"
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The pounding of drums
Echo through darkening skies
The Ancients Ones speak.
<>
Warrior on horse
Approaches wearing buckskins
Beaded with lightning.
<>
Overstuffed grey clouds
Burst open, spill their contents
On the thirsty Plains.
<>
The wind caresses
The faces of The People
With soft, time worn hands.
<>
The People are pleased.
The Ancients are not angry.
Together, they sing.

Ahhhhhhh... what vivid mind-pictures, Karla... such quiet power in and around the words and lines you've written. My sister and her daughter went to live with the Lakota tribe for a week this summer, to help build some new outbuildings and to experience their culture. I will share this beautiful poem with them. You have captured the mystical and the honesty of a culture that we should all learn from. This is just amazing work! katy xox.

Karla, unfortunately I’ve been inundated lately, but I have continued to read your dazzling creations. I enjoy reading your work and learning from your gifted quill. You possess extraordinary talent, style and grace, and your stimulating work will continue to enlighten and delight the masses long after we depart from this world. I know I will carry the wonderful memories of your well-penned compositions. You have continued to elevate the level of knowledge in all who are fortunate enough to visit your dramatic Den. For those of us who are willing to consider ourselves to be a human being, author or poet, we naturally draw off each other’s creative influences. I have enjoyed reading another treasure and visit. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary work my poet friend. Take care and be well. Good luck. Keep The Faith.
