Please Say Kaddish for Me

home crumbles in flames

all is lost to the haters

blessings follow her

At a recent haiku workshop we were challenged to capture the essence of a chapter or book in haiku, a Japanese poetry form usually written in seventeen syllables. The presenter called this the ultimate elevator pitch. Accepting the challenge, I wrote my haiku to encapsulate Please Say Kaddish for Me, which opens with Havah losing home and family. Everyone and everything she has ever known goes up in smoke and is consumed by flames. These heinous acts were carried out by those who hated the Jews, yet Havah is a survivor who learns to find blessings or light in the darkness.

Shalom,

Rochelle
