spark by spark (haiku with image, another tribute to Svetlana’s spirit)
autumn sun
dripping on roses
spark by spark
Another tribute to Svetlana Marisova who won first place in the 9th (2011) Shiki Kukai ‘Poets’ Choice’ kigo section. Svetlana passed away at age 21 recently. She’s greatly missed by those who love her haiku. I read them daily at the NaHaiWriMo facebook site where she interacted with most of us who posted along with her.
(The image is a bronze sculpture by Harriet W Frismuth, 1923, given by Mrs. Walter Crawford in 1937 for the Arbor and Trellis of the The Cranford Rose Garden, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, NY, titled Roses of Yesterday. I’ve taken the caption from a text on the clock face the figure cradles on her left arm.)
‘fallen leaf’ for Svetlana(haiga3 for 19 Planets Art Blog challenge)
fallen leaf
curls into its own
emptied self

his smile—
too foggy to find
among well-wishers
One of five (and one of two not included) I submitted to Margaret for her call to send haiku posted today as “All Souls Tributes”, a small collection to treasure. Click on haikudoodle in the blogroll.
leaves crackling (tribute to Mama)
leaves crackling–
in her grave tiny hands sweep
leavings of sparrows
