Papal Retirement
Benedict retires,
And another takes his job,
Just like you or me.

Haiku for Today
I have written a number of poems in haiku form. (See “Haiku Meditations on the Church Year,” “More Haiku,” “Columbia Homecoming,” and “Meta-haiku.”) I like the challenge of making a point in only 17 syllables. Yesterday, I was thinking about today’s retirement of Pope Benedict XVI and wrote this somewhat ironic haiku for the occasion.
Benedict retires,
And another takes his job,
Just like you or me.
