A frayed ribbon dancing
Caught in bare trees
Making them look fancy
Without any leaves
A shock of pink romancing
Skeletal branch thieves
Stealing someone’s happy
In a desolate landscape

#1676 Frayed Ribbon

Frayed ribbon of nerves,
the host retreated to bed
to restart the day

Gifts She keeps them in the wardrobe, the gifts she meant for you. Golden, pristine wrapping, baby blue ribbons. I sometimes see her looking; she sees you opening them in a Christmas long ago, a Christmas that never was. It was a cold year, that year, the coldest I remember. There was no dinner, no songs sung, only tears cried. I have forgotten what’s in them, those gifts left that saw no tree. I ask her from time to time; she always remembers.

Holding on tightly
Frayed ribbon of memory
Last pieces of him.

#BSPP48 #FrayedRibbon #Haiku #Senryu

Little one clutching
A frayed ribbon, lost, afraid,
Determined to fight.
