The first Mardi Gras after Katrina and I had the good fortune to ride on Fat Tuesday with the finest troopers in
the military. It was a once in a life time ride. I did catch some good pictures and hope you enjoy them.

I wrote these poems after I retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs
Education Service in 2001.
A haiku (high-koo) is short three-line poem that
uses sensory language to capture a feeling or image.
Haiku poetry was originally developed by Japanese
poets.
It uses a simple (five) 5, (seven) 7, and (five) 5
syllables format.
They are often inspired by nature, a moment of beauty,
or poignant experience.
I wrote these with strong details and detailed imagery.
