winter twilight
the one-legged veteran faces
a revolving door
_______________
winter mist ...
bookmarking a moment
with this haiku
_______________
no trace left ...
I weave her laughter
into my dream
_______________
my shadow and me
in the silence
a wall clock ticking

very sad and realistic...so poignant.
ReplyDeleteChen-ou Liu, your Haiku are so poignant and so emphatic in their expression! They are abstracts of real life and the many mirrors we face daily! Excellent! Sheri
