Mourning Haiku from the Cafe
Mourning Haiku from the Cafe
mud on his grave
grows buttercups
for her spring blues
deep dirt
buries his casket
her heart wails
dust in her eyes
from his windblown grave
her tombstone blues
her tresses fly free
from the Mississippi delta blues
no more tears
she wipes dust
from his name etched in marble
tomb of no regrets
sentimental blues
sing in her mourning heart
her teary smile
mud on his grave
grows buttercups
for her spring blues
deep dirt
buries his casket
her heart wails
dust in her eyes
from his windblown grave
her tombstone blues
her tresses fly free
from the Mississippi delta blues
no more tears
she wipes dust
from his name etched in marble
tomb of no regrets
sentimental blues
sing in her mourning heart
her teary smile

hello John this is a masterfully crafted poem I can recognize it as such but fail to truly comprehend its depth still it made me feel a certain gentle way...that you love this person is clear it seems even more so when there are tears in her eyes...beautiful writing ❤️
Thank you for feeling this, my friend. I am moved by your feeling with the poems and that is what I sought to convey here. This poem was less about comprehension and more about emotion. Definitely not much drama here. I am most appreciative of your reading me here. Deep thanks, my friend.'❤️
