A spring walk on a sunny afternoon in our Everett neighborhood is filled with color, scents  and smiles! I sometimes stop and check the book titles offered along the way. A box without books but a sign caught my eye – “PAUSE FOR POETRY”.  You have a special invitation to “pause for poetry” and read  four Nan Harty haiku! Haiku has a special place in the spring! Haiku captures a single moment, lingers longer, finds beauty in little things and engages us in unexpected ways!

Cathy Ross, a favorite contributor to the NESTER, returns with a poem about relationships. Why do some couples last despite the odds? And after all that is written on the subject, is any more valid than the horoscope? Perhaps what is fortunate and true is that much of what holds us together is a wonderful mystery.
