Caught in the gray. A haiku and senryu garland
my table is yours
this dream grows bigger when shared
the meal is better

Oh winter’s sunrise
you once taught the secrets of warmth
when love held plenty
Cyclical seasons
why won’t life spin as you do
to bring my love back
In the cold between
I cling to your phantom warmth
within our gray scarf
Oh winter’s sunset
replay our intimate times
thaw my loneliness
Linger in the gray
where transcient souls are moulded
metamorphosis

I’m on a haiku spree. I hope you enjoy these next ones that I wrote on twitter yesterday.

Hope you enjoy. Don’t forget to follow me if you are on twitter. I have shorter writing I post there.
Blessed day and happy thanksgiving.
Beautiful share

So many styles of haiku – capturing winter’s chill and hoping for warner refrains 🙂
