Mourning glory climbs
granite panels' enshrining.
Firm impressions made.

I enjoyed all three of your haiku. I would comment on all but this one struck me the most.


I can't do haiku
in opposition of you
the proof is shown

Enjoyed

I've been to the wall Jo...it leaves one with such an engraved image...Your words do justice to such a special and revered place.

Probably one of my favorites...
but I never seem to have the right corner
for them...

perhaps I will try again,
next year.

Almost missed this one, and what a play on words to make a point.

(angel friendship hugs) Oh Jo, this poem made me tear up because it had me envision ever so vividly imagining a little flower budding beside my cousin Jeremy's grave and caressing it gently in loving memory! (wipes tear) God Bless You, dearest friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jo, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
