Leviticus Haikus

Vayikra

Dispatch guilt and sins
Send up scent and sacrifice
You are forgiven

Tzav

What pleases our God
Meticulous rituals
Priests as exemplars

Chol HaMo-eid Pesach

For those promises
Bring Deliver Redeem Take
Israel was freed

Sh'mini

Alien fire yields
consuming consequences
mourning in silence

Tazria/M'tzora

Examine a flaw
transition to a clean state
isolate and pray

Acharei Mot/K'doshim

Death then holiness
laws of love honor restraint
God's admonitions

Emor

Be it festival
Shabbat or moments between
make every day count

B'har B'chukotai

All things must release
servitude and property
are impermanent
