let me slip off in peace
avoiding the rivers of
lingering goodbyes
Hello and Welcome to all haiku fans — especially to those who have followed this blog in the past. You will see this blog has been inactive for a long time. I stopped writing to fight a battle with leukemia — and thankfully the doctors and I did win this round. Now I plan to start posting here again.
I plan to do a “something old, something new” schedule. I’ve so many haiku scribbled on scraps here and there; it’s time to collect and post them all. and every other day I’ll post one from my Archives.
So here’s today’s verse:
Thanks for visiting.
drunkard’s child
finds a forgotten apple
with a bruised cheek
she rubs it with gentle hands
as memories throb
oh my brother
I did not share with you
this morning’s golden dawn
your letters, sweetheart
are my sunshine every day
bright poppies blooming
ship bringing food
reaches the besieged town
only children at the dock
our picnic blanket
appliquéd with autumn leaves
so faded now
no rest for mother
sparrow as she feeds her young
they too will learn
