Gone But Not Forgotten – A Haibun

Posted byChristine BoltonPosted inBlog, HaikuTags:, , , , , ,

It was not until this morning that I realized I had completely forgotten to post my Daily Haiku yesterday on August 10th.  My mind has been full with other things lately and it just slipped my mind. It has only happened twice in over three years.

As it happened it would have been my late mother’s birthday and I did think about her throughout the day.  Didn’t remember the Haiku, but remembered her fondly.  So here is a Senryu in remembrance of her and others we have all lost along the way.

I have chosen a Swan as the image.  It was her favorite bird.

Gone so long ago
It was your birthday yesterday
I did not forget

    1. Thanks VJ. She was lost to us a long time ago now. On the 10th this year, her birthday, it was as if she were present. 🌺❤️
