Haiku And Senryu Poem by cahen thrips

Haiku And Senryu



Three swans taking flight
eastwards low over salt marsh -
you astride their backs

Imagination
is all I have left these days -
my memory fails

Nature reclaims you
white catafalques bear you home -
I wave sad farewell

Tides still ebb and flow
winds yet moan through slapping masts -
why does Earth not weep?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Three swans skimmed overhead as I walked alone on the sea wall with salt marsh to my right. I recalled how she'd loved to see swans on the wing.
