Beautiful. I love it.This haiku says alot Marion.x
Thanks, Bernadette!
I like it.
Not sure if this is how you meant it, but to me it created an image of someone emerging from depression – they’ve been in a mental winter and are now beginning to see the summer stretched out before them.
Thanks so much for sharing your reading of this haiku, Patsy. I love hearing how a reader interprets a haiku.
There is a bit of back story in the comments on the poem when it was first published on the tinywords archive here, if you are interested. http://tinywords.com/2017/05/31/24359/
