HAIKU

:Does a jackass know

While it is kicking and braying

That it's a jackass?

 

Each morning he purrs.

I wake. His face is in mine.

I've stirred, so he purrs.

 

Loved with all my heart.

Believed what I wanted to.

Foolish me. Smart he.

 

 

Haikus dedicated to Paul and Doña (who passed from cancer)

 

I miss you so much,

My soul mate. I miss your touch,

Your voice, your presence.

 

Tell me, please tell me,

Will I ever not miss you?

Can that ever be?
