Haiku: Portals to Heaven…

About Zellie M. Quinn
I first started writing poetry in the early 1980′s while in the military. I found that I could write on the back-blank side of pages of important documents all the soldier poems welling up in me. The guys discovered the poems and began to take them. This proved to be a not-so-good thing, since during inspections our site was docked points due to the missing pages of important documents.
I wish I could honestly say that as soon as I realized this, I immediately stopped all further deviant behavior…
Alas…
Other than that I was a good soldier.

I was rereading your poem The Prisoner In His Cell as I was working on Chapter 9 of my book. The chapter has the heading: Hope and a Life of Meaning. Your poem is still my intended intro to that chapter with the appropriate attribution. As a volunteer lay Catholic chaplain speaking with men in lockdown isolation, your poem resonates with me in a way beyond words. As the book moves along toward completion, we can communicate further. Blessings.
Thanks Tom! -”The Prisoner in His Cell” is a poem that means a lot to me- I wrote it when my father was volunteering in the prison – but had no way to get the poem to them. I will keep you and your work in my prayers! You are most welcome to use that poem
