The Order of the Seder in Haiku, by Rabbi Avi Killip

קדש
this holy moment
wine sobers and sanctifies
the seder begins

ורחץ 
grimy from egypt
we wash ourselves clean and wait
ready for freedom

כרפס
we celebrate life
by dipping into our tears
another springtime

יחץ
matzah; made to break
teaching us to find within
an afikoman

מגיד
a good story is
worth hearing again this year
tell me one more time

רחצה
wash before blessing
shhh, its a quiet moment 
only then we eat

מוציא מצה
bread of affliction
even you need to be blessed
Hamotzi Matza

מרור
when our bitter herb
is really just a garnish
we are privileged

כורך
once upon a time
Hillel made the first sandwich 
bitter with the sweet

שולחן עורך 
brisket;matzo balls;
gefilte fish from the jar
--so worth waiting for!

צפון
hidden or stolen
it always tasted sweeter
ritual dessert

ברך
on this night we bless
singing together, aloud 
like when we were kids

הלל
holy Redeemer
who leads us to promised lands
to you we sing praise

let’s do it again
next year in Jerusalem
or tomorrow night
