Haiku #34

Along the river
some weeping willows hanging
in morning’s shiver

Haiku #32

Limp flags in the gloom;
fading flowers to be thrown
from the empty tomb

Copyright Francis 2021

Walking in the rain,
my umbrella forgotten:
Touching the catkins

Copyright Francis 2021

Lone predicament
walking winter, a pauper —
richer in my soul

I am forced inside
like winter sap, waiting; long
nights in search of sleep
