spring rain
falls softly, steadily
all day
the sadness
comes and goes in waves
Blithe Spirit Vol.24 No.3 August 2014
Ingredients - my published haiku, tanka, haibun and the occasional piece of writing that fits none of those categories.

Lost property
You must have
left her with me
by mistake
maybe you put her down
to pick up your coffee cup
many years ago
when we were younger
and less careful
we sometimes let
our paths cross
with those of strangers
as if we didn't know
the dangers
I've tried not to
let myself think of her
as mine
but I've become used to
having her around
she's grown a little wiser
over all the years
I've kept her
just in case
one day you
want her back.
(Oldie revised.)
