Some Senior Haikus Letters

A reader, Ellen Diamond, sent us these haikus after reading our “Graying New York” series about senior New Yorkers:

Impatient girl-child

if you‘d waited one more breath

I’d have stepped aside

How can I resist

leafy paths on autumn days?

O, my ancient feet! �

Seasons of her age

rest upon her wrinkled arm;

in his hand, her pulse.
