More Bible Haiku

I'm dreadfully remiss in bringing to your attention a new Bible haiku for the next book in the series, Proverbs. Larry Stephey, proprietor of Inspired Haiku, left this one at the Gazette a couple of weeks ago and I just lost track of it until today:

Proverbs

A compendium of wisdom
Distilled through the centuries-
Have we ears to hear?

Our complete collection, which now spans Genesis through Proverbs, can be viewed here. Ecclesiastes is next on the list; feel free to take a shot at it, as there's a time for writing poetry and a time for not doing so. I {ahem} promise to do a more timely job of adding new submittals to the list.

Did anybody in this site or any other site submit a haiku on THE FIRST BOOK OF MACCABEES AND/OR THE SECOND BOOK OF MACCABEES?

I'm just waiting for the one I want.

Eurasian, you're welcome to submit haikus for any of the Apocrypha. We've had submittals for Judith and Tobit thus far.

Rachel, I don't suppose you're going to give us a hint, are you? ;-)

Ecclesiastes

The Preacher speaks now
Vanity of vanities
Listen as He speaks
