willow leaves
descend drip by drip to the pool
weep in her absence

This poem was written in response to Carpe Diem Time Glass #35 weeping willow, another great prompt hosted by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. All of the poems in the link-up can be read here. And, to finish, here’s Julie London (despite a controversial last minute plea for Justin Timberlake!) –
Beautiful verses, dear Sue… Happy week ahead. All my best wishes. Aquileana 😀
[Sigh ….!]
The ache …. and again, coupled with music …. very moving.
Well, if you can’t rustle up a bit of an ache when looking at a weeping willow prompt what sort of haijin would you be?! 😉
LOL!!! 😀
(Oops… I may have ruined that achy mood … Sorry folks!) 😉
There’s the yin of the achiness and the yang of the smiley face, so it fits a haiku post nicely 😉
Oh good! Phew! 🙂
Superb …
Oh thank you! One of those rare haiku that fell into place instantly while looking at the photo Chèvrefeuille posted 🙂
Aren’t they fantastic … love that when it happens!
They certainly are – like being sent a little gift 😉

Great haiku … I like this song very much …. good choice.
