haiku (stone cold)

by David R Spellman

 
cold stone tablets
mark snow-covered graves;
newly fallen

Newly fallen... acknowledging another snow-fall as nature, not man, intends. I find this haunting, as if to remind us of those who have forgotten or do not remember often enough in "real time." I also can't help but want to maybe lay my hands on the stones to warm them. Beautifully said, David.

(No pun intended) but heavy, powerful. Amazing how so much can be visualized from three lines. Fine work sir!

very intense imagery came from this piece right to my very heart... blessings...

Newly fallen... a haunting idea, considering the ambiguity of whether the snow or the inhabitants of the graves are "newly fallen". Great read.

touching...the last line makes it

Oh yeah! I really like the ambiguity of the last line. This is a well-chiseled ku, my man. Pe4ce...
