Hailstorm

This was my entry for the 38th Caribbean Kigo Kukai held in September 2012 with the theme: Stormy Weather.

three red petals left
to scent this rose

Congratulations to the winners, and my thanks to Gillena Cox for running this kukai each month. You can read all the haiku here.

My Half



one side of the rose
has no petals:
hoping he'll return,
I keep to my half
of the bed
