Here's a Haiku Triptych--a Haiku chain of three--for lovers of romance.

Our memories are sometimes blurred.

The moon's light clarifies them, touching--and quietly mending.

Under moonlight's glow

Ripples gently caress feet

His gentle recall.

Light carries the mind

Fragments touched by soft ripples

Reaching for his soul.

By the pond's edge he walks

Mind and soul now become one

He remembers her.
