Mariangela Canzi and Ian Storr lending Presence into the MahMight Zone






bloody sunday

migrants work

in burning fields


Mariangela Canzi 



Mariangela Canzi said:

"I would like to send you my most recent haiku. I wrote it in one go last Sunday after hearing terrible news on tv.

Last Sunday breaking news: An African migrant died of a heart attack in southern Italy. He had been forced to work in the fields at noon. Fatigue and heat killed him.

I felt deeply shocked and irate. Words suddenly flowed into my mind and I wrote this haiku."





traffic lights at red

a man with no fingers

asks for money


Ian Storr





Mariangela Canzi says:

"Ian Storr's haiku profoundly struck me. I think a discreet yet powerful emotion seizes the reader and leads him to think about our life and our challenging world. A challenge we have to take up."



Here is Mariangela's quotation from 

'Waiting for Godot'...

Vladimir: 

"There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet."


And from 'Withnail and I'...

Withnail:

"These are the sort of windows faces look in at?"



Alan Note:

Ian Storr's incredible haiku comes from this sequence:

MahMight becomes poignant with Lorraine Padden and Chad Lee Robinson

 








precious little sleep the tiny headstone





Lorraine Padden







Commentary:

"I’m fascinated by the various arrangements of words that make up small haiku-informed poems! How individual bits of meaning lead, follow, shift and co-mingle in a single stroke or across multiple gestures."







Lorraine:

And, here's a favorite haiku by Chad Lee Robinson, The Heron's Nest 2020 Poet of the Year:






stillborn lamb

the storm reduces itself

to quiet rain



Chad Lee Robinson







Lorraine's Commentary: 

"This moment is full to overflowing with the juxtaposition of ferocious and tender energies. A force of nature whose furious self-confidence yields space and time for a reverential bearing witness to loss."






A favorite quote from Waiting for Godot:

"Estragon: We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression that we exist?"


A favorite quote from Withnail and I:

"Withnail: This is ridiculous"

Last person standing in the MahMight zone with Linda L Ludwig and Kris Lindbeck

 





she stood

through it all...

she stood



Linda L Ludwig




"Life leaves marks upon the soul that heal but leave scars.  As years pass we face new challenges that knock us down but every time we get up we are that much stronger.  She is older, wiser and stronger through a year that tested everyone’s strength."












The following is my new favorite haiku by Kris Lindbeck.  


I love this because growing up and still the thought of flying was a part of my dreams and as an older person with white hair I identified.  I want to learn to fly.

Withnail and I: 

You wouldn't spike me, you're too mean. Beside there's nothing invented I couldn't take.



Waiting for Godot:

“Vladimir: I don't understand. 

Estragon: Use your intelligence, can't you? 

Vladimir uses his intelligence.  

Vladimir: (finally) I remain in the dark.”
