Haiku - A Set of Six

home from the funeral-
grandfather’s chair
sits alone

bearing yesterday-
a worn box
and yellow photos

winter freeze-
a warm memory
forgets the cold

into the pond-
a shadow jumps
before the frog

autumn night-
the harvest moon
picks a memory

imprisoned poets
counting this and that-
where is Basho

I must have missed these this past weekend. Working too hard, I guess. That first one brings some strong memories for me. I remember coming back from my grandpa's funeral when I was twelve. I couldn't bear to sit in his chair. I just stared at it for I don't know how long. It was the same with my great-grandpa. His chair was on the porch. Which is maybe why I write so many porch poems.

I think this was very good Lori, even though I am not very familiar with haiku myself. Keep up the good work girl, you write fantasic. May the Lord be with you, and at your side always. With much love, peace, & (((HUGS))), your very dear friend from Wisconsin, and sister in Christ our Lord,

Andrea, this is wonderful and Haiku is so difficult to write and do well. You are growing as a poet each time I see your work it's better.

These read like flicking through the pages of a family album, or the scene-setting soliloquy by the narrator at the beginning of some big, historical Hollywood epic... all of life - and death - is here! And strung like a summer daisy-chain: warm; soft-focussed; piquant and perfect! TY Kate xx

Great reflections. In the first one I invisage a lonely old squeeky rocking chair, out on a Texans home front porch..
