tangled
in holly and ivy -
a fallen angel's wings
one upright gravestone
among oddly angled ones -
Edward Askew Sothern
almost worn
from the stone, the words
'passed away'
headstones -
my tongue finds the place
of the lost filling
crowding around
the chapel door -
buttercups
hollow cross -
a little water
gathered in it
between the graves
a perfect
dandelion clock

Glad to see the ukku gathering proved productive!
It was a brilliant meeting, and the walk through the cemetary was amazing.
Thanks Alison for getting haiku up so quick.
I like them all!
My favourites at this moment are:
almost worn
headstones (because I can relate to that right now!)
crowding around
hollow cross
and blimey, I remember that dandelion now too! That's what I love about 'autobiographical' haiku, especially if I was there too.
Thanks Alison.
Beautiful collection - each a lovely haiku on its own too!
