Did you lie just here?
Memories have faded, and
the grass will not say.

Oh, I like this very much. *S* Even fading memories have the strength to recreate a moment so powerfully we wonder if it's real or not. It is, as long as we keep our eyes shut and hearts open... even if the grass is no help at all. *S*

Ed...it is the back that is important, not the grass, any grass will do. Loved this sweet little poem!

Hi Ed, I'm a huge fan of haiku's and senryu's and you did this one with perfection. So much said in so few words.

Hugs, Marti
