Week 3 Haikus about the homeless, socks, and a woman.

Haikus about the homeless, socks, and a woman.
By: Jonathan Reyes

The homeless are glad
Warm socks, caring ears listen
Woman is happy

Homeless woman dies
Where is the love in the world
Where's her pair of socks?

Socks bring joy to her
Homeless needs come from down low
Christ's love starts with feet

Week 2

Sunlight, subway, strength

i look down at my black boots
trudging up the steps
as i begin to emerge
from the dirty subway station
i look up and see the sunlight
beaming
on the glistening stairs
still wet from rain
that fell hours ago..
i feel a source of strength
as i reach the top.

Week 2: Haikus about sunlight, subway, strength

Haikus about sunlight, subway, strength
By: Jonathan Reyes

Sunlight is scorching
Harsh sounds of the subway
A single mom's strength

Strength comes from struggle
God's sunlight beams of our hope
Child rides the subway

The subway has dirt
A strong smell of the homeless
The sun's light will clean
