I thought I'd have a try at another haiku, because I found that there is a haiku corner for us loonies? I don't know where this one came from but it appeared in my thoughts this morning and I like it. The weather is very cold today and it reminds me of my mother's funeral a year ago, when we all stood shivering, after her cremation. It isn't about my mother, but the loss felt by a partner. Each word has multiple meanings. See what you think of it.


Tears my heart slowly
breaking up I weep lowly
releasing ashes

And the GRAVES a fine place
no embrace only ashes
Georges

Very touching. Full of pathos.
