A Gratitude Haiku

My grandmother, Mildred Gordon

Our thoughts are breezes

As we sit, hands clasped, sun-warmed,

Watching roses bloom.

About the Creator

Sonia Heidi Unruh

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

    A warm haiku. A small nod to L/B suggestions and Ms. Mildred sent.

    Beautiful <3 I think one of the absolute best things a poem can do is express appreciation for a grandmother.

    Oh I feel I've jumped into a lovely warm pond and could keep diving into all this means. What a gorgeous haiku, Sonia. Rich.
