Virginia community activist and philanthropist Jane Batten has never enjoyed sudoku or Wordle, so she developed her own creative outlet. While not traditional haiku, she forms word puzzles using the five-seven-five discipline. Her poems touch upon familiar themes that reflect what's most important to her, what she calls "reflections at the end of life"-nature, church, family, friendship, love. Sometimes they hearken a memory; other times they comment on the moment. These short verses exhibit universal themes any lover of poetry will celebrate.
