Footprints on my heart,
Etched by memories galore,
Hollow chasm within.
Tears agonizing,
Footprints swept away, deluge,
Search them on my wound.
This Haiku is shared with Haiku Heights and the Prompt is Footprint.
I will never understand Haiku ... but this one is different ... because I know about tears, I guess ...
ReplyDeleteWe all know about Tears :-)
DeleteYour haiku starts exactly from where mine ends.. a fantastic coincidence that...it happens..indeed..
ReplyDeleteRS:)

DeleteYes..it does feel like our souls are trodden on by big heavy brown boots at times..a real wound..salt water stings but can also repair..Jae
ReplyDeleteI agree Jae :-)
DeleteLovely wording of a hard thought. It may be positive that tears wash away the footprints, but the wounds remain and healing takes a while. I think we'll be reading lots of sad poems for this prompt.
ReplyDeleteI guess so :-)
DeleteOh so painful, these feelings of loss, very well expressed. A special haiku.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellecee :-)

DeleteReflecting on good times can sadly be disrupted. Challenges abound to offer resistance! Nicely Green!

DeleteThe dissonance between "etched" and "hollow" is jarring--and makes the reader perk up and pay attention!
