The Mourning

A Haiku about lost love appearing in dreams.

I saw her, I thought

I dreamt lost love, touched again

Waking left mourning.

Thank you for reading my work. Haiku demand so much with so little space. I'm glad you like this one, double entendre and all. I appreciate your thoughts and your review. be well.

Nice work. I love Haiku but I haven't done anything yet. Thanks for sharing this thought about love found out in dreams and then lose it again when you wake up.

Reading this I'm struck by the same pronunciation but different spelling of mourning and morning. It kind of gives a whole new level of thought to this.

Thank you for reading my work. The play on "mourning" lends the piece its nuance. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my haiku.

This is erie, because I had one of those dreams last night. Thats creepy. This captures what I thought when I woke. I like the play on the word "mourning" Thats clever. great poem. its going on my favorite list

[Mockingbird]

it's difficult to wake up from a dream of someone you love and is no longer there. good mourning indeed.

Fine short poem,haiku,which confirms my belief that poetic energy can be transported very compressed.Like the way you play with mourning/morning and the
way you give the subject a new touch.Good work.
