These are my very first haikus, you've been warned.
Mamaia means grandmother in Romanian.

Teaching

We see the orphan

the teachings of the Wise Lord

And yet, do we learn?

-------------------------------------
Aurolac
Silver death is hope

A gaunt boy under a rainbow

Jesus' tears have built

Aurolac is a form of cheap drug used in Romania, see

He can't learn!
His soul is a star

His mind flies lower than mine

The star in heaven.
Not so bright children are seen as second class,
yet intelligence is nothing for the Lord

---------------------------------
Sunflowers
The field is now dead

Mud has conquered the earth

Rain has become tears.

There were floodings in Romania last summer (2002), and the crops suffered heavily

------------------------------------
A little prayer
Our Good Lord we bless

We thank Him for another day

May He love our faith

Based on a song from La Gomera, my mother's island.
