I haven’t attempted any haiku writing for many a moon. But I thought I would try my hand. This one was written with a grieving pet owner in mind. But I reckon it would apply to missing anyone who has passed away:
Our lives together
Like a rainbow’s sudden joy
Always remembered
Come on, who else has a haiku to share? I know you do, Laura!
Animals and creativity. They have been been intertwined in my life for such a long time now.
This past spring I designed about 70 new jewelry pieces, frustratingly not yet on my website! (That is a story in itself; but the very thought of putting it down to share is too exhausting.) 
Endowing a lump of grey clay with the personality and form of a hippopotamus, a Chinese Crested dog or a cat has a special satisfaction for me. And viewing the sterling silver cast pieces for the first time is magical. Never fails. It’ s Christmas morning feeling I get to enjoy several times a year.
To me, being an artist is like wearing a sparkly, every-changing but gossamer coat. I get to write, make animal jewelry and create fairy stories for my granddaughters. So far, only one of those activities makes me any money, but strangely enough, they all seem of equal importance. – Merry
