HIDE BY THE RAVINE
ST. CRISTOBAL MAGALLANES JARA
Haiku for Christian Martyrs

"Hide by the Ravine"

Hide by the Ravine.
Modern martyrdom harkens
Circus Maximus


"History in Cycles"

History repeats--
Cycles of downfalls. Again,
Christ dies and suffers.


"Perpetua"

Starving lions turn
From the kill. God's power awes
the Colosseum

ST. CRISTOBAL MAGALLANES JARA

"Hide by the Ravine" by Elizabeth A. Ochoa, 2003. This haiku is dedicated to my paternal great grandmother, Soledad Valdes Flores, born in Totatiche, Jalisco in Mexico in 1882. She died in 1976 in Sacramento, CA, USA. She was related to Cristobal.
