Gold - Haiku 5-7-5
ghostly images
fresh scents of spring embedded
white sheets on the line
For Tanka's
marlene47
each wind gust reminding her
how long now they are apart
sheltered
winded memories exhumed
without a wasted breath
pania
winter spirits now set free
shadows replaced by the sun

Come with me, my lovely lady
for the spring does come for us all
