Eulogies

Being the writer of the family, I'm expected to write something "nice" for family occasions such as funerals, birthdays, mitzvahs, and miscellaneity.

This is a Renga I wrote for my Aunt Buzzy's passing. May she rest in peace.

"Ms. Elyse 'Buzzy' Ackerman"

Elyse as "Buzzy"
Reminds me of all New York:
Attitude, humor....

A flowing silk woman of
wit, street, and book smarts, pizzazz!

Nancy, Eddy, Ma
are missing now their sister,
wife, daughter, loved one.

But we are at peace because
she is at peace in quiet.
