Three quick moments of inspiration. I hope you enjoy them.
Gold – for my parents who celebrated fifty years of marriage over the weekend
Silver – because…well silver’s just lovely
Bronze – for a friend I lost a quarter of a century ago
Fifty golden years
A lifetime sharing a life
And more yet to come
Silver. Poor sister
To the yellow glittering.
Rare. Ghostly. Beauty
You were always bronze
Strong. Resilient. Lasting
As memory will
All three are strong. The story behind them adds to the meaning, thoughtful writing.

Thanks very much – appreciated. It’s nice to have a change of pace occasionally and I find the haiku format is something I enjoy (even if I am generally trampling all over the rules!)

Nicely done, where the back story makes it so much more.

Thanks Mel – I wanted to give a little bit of context to what had inspired me to write. Glad it enhanced the experience rather than detracting from it in a spoon-feeding kind of a way!

The third one is especially sentimental, I feel. That first line already tells us that the person is gone and that they’re remembered, loved and mourned. Great job 🙂

Yes, the last one is especially personal so I’m very glad the sentiment of remembrance came across in it. Thanks Ana – good to have your thoughts 🙂

I’m glad I made you all teary eyed but I’m also sorry if that makes any sense!
