Silvia Lange

The purpose of this blog is to share Silvia's photos, poems, songs, stories and recipes so everyone who loved her can enjoy them.

For a start, here are some of her haiku. Silvia wrote haiku for at least 40 years. Some years she kept a haiku journal, writing one each day. 2010, the year she disappeared at Point Reyes Beach North, was going to be one of those years.

Angel Island Haiku

Tiny yellow puffs
Exploding without a sound
The acacia blooms


Hallelujah!
Trumpets the calla lily's
Alabaster horn

Maple leaf turning
From green to shades of crimson
Fall has changed me, too

Purple poker plant
Stirring up the coals of Spring
Pride of Madeira

Indian paintbrush
Splashes red on the canvas
Of Angel Island

Drumsticks of rain
Striking the kettledrum roof
Immigrants' dirge
