...for Hortensia<br /><br />her news<br />I start to plant the pits<br />of all the fruit I eat<br /><br />When Hortensia posted about a month ago of her difficult days, this poem of hers (I have placed below) familiar to many I am sure, impressed me deeply. It inspired my haiku. Since then I have really put each fruit pit and seed in soil or water, I have a line of avocados making roots in glasses Kathabelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659451892262424448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466924160507043747.post-2795658133651164522012-05-24T15:34:53.461-04:002012-05-24T15:34:53.461-04:00I'm sure Hortensia and her writings lit up a l...I'm sure Hortensia and her writings lit up a lot of lives, and will light up many more in the future.
