Some Haiku

Ornamental_Plums.png


Shy voice almost too
Low to hear....Who knew love would
come so quietly?


Ornamental plums
Light pink petals surround me
Like the passing years


Ornamental plums.
How soon their petals depart.
How soon they return.


Ornamental plums
Black branches dripping with rain
Spring's sweet harbinger


Ornamental plums
All love is unrequited
Petals floating off....


If it had been me
You might have been annoyed but
Not disappointed


Ornamental plums
Pink petals and sweet fragrance
Touch me like a kiss


Ornamental plums
Memories of rain and fragrance
Fill me with longing
