(#25)

Fronds torn by the storm
Willow bathes her wounds in tears
Heaven cries above

…..

(#26)

In konara copse
Broken axe is silent now
Entombed by the ferns

…..

(#27)

In my sorrow
I doubt even sparrow’s joy
Can restore my heart

    1. Thanks so much, Xenia. There’s certainly a poignancy in those last three, a sense of letting go and still wishing the best for some who is no longer in our lives. I appreciate your kind comments, my friend. Wishing a good week ahead for you and yours. 😊🍁🍂

    1. Many thanks, Darlene. Oh yes, Valencia has suffered tragically. It’s a terrible situation. Although #25 was written three years ago, it certainly applies. Thank you for your kind support, my friend. I appreciate you. 😊🍁

    1. Thanks, Kirsten. When I wrote these little collections, I’d pen six in one sitting, so they seemed to have a sort-of inherent theme running through the bunch that reflected my mood at the time of writing. I was pining for a lost love while writing these (I guess it’s pretty obvious, right?). There really does seem to be a storyline running through them.

      I appreciate you and your constant support, my friend. Always a pleasure to see you pop in to say hey! 😊🍁🍂
