fallen leaf
whispers to the wind:
i am free
~0~0~0
white lilies
blooming by gravestone,
scent of you
~0~0~0
guitar strings softly
echo her soulful verses,
bluer than the sky

Lovely, Grace. I especially like the first one.
ReplyDeleteFree is so beautiful, Grace. I think leaves are such a fine example of this kind of freedom.
ReplyDeleteVery nice as always at your sea. But the poor leave isn't long to be free, it will soon be on the ground, raked up or gone on by a hound haha
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku. I love the photo on your header.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is particularly lovely!
ReplyDeletedang...the second is just tight...love it...and then you get to the third which rocks...great stuff grace...
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku Grace!
ReplyDeleteI love anything involving leaves, wind, whispers and freedom, so yeah, the first is great.
ReplyDeleteBut i also like shifting gears so the other two gave me a fine ride.

Very gentle and lovely. Feels a little sad. I don't know if it's because, I envy that leaf. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure I left a comment before, but it is not here and I will try to repeat it because I am so moved by this writing.
ReplyDeletethe whisper, the scent, the echo
Blue tune, but free . . . I feel like I have been here after a soul myself.
I found that the grave was empty, but the surroundings and my heart were full.
exceptional, espec. the 2nd which struck a deep chord in me......
ReplyDeleteall letting go... but so very near with the words of your lovely haiku...

Beautiful, Grace. I like the second best, but I feel like all three belong together, telling a story of mourning.
