Loneliness

"Loneliness prompt" from http://onebreathpoetry



body failing
shaking with two canes
the leaves dance free

Walking with two canes these days as I live with Parkinson's, I enjoy the autumn changes, the leaves blowing here and there. I breathe in the blue skies, and always wonder at the surrounding mountains.

between the gusts of wind winter comes

Thank you. I have arthritis in both knees, so really felt this haiku and its uplifting beauty of the leaves.

Dear Roswilla,
Thank you for your words. Did you see the haiku after the prose?

A lovely haiku, I particularly like the image of the free dancing leaves. Thanks for stopping by my blog -- just to clarify, it's my mom who has just been widowed, not me. I'm sorry to hear about your Parkinson's....life can be such a struggle.

thanks for your perceptive comment on my "loneliness" post

cheers, gerald

You piece resonates the beauties of nature and the struggles of living. It reflects insight and courage. And yes, winter is coming...
