November has long gone
ran through the broken window
leaving a fragile black cat
alone sitting still on the window sill
all day long ever since
November came back once a year
rummaging through the very same window
ignoring the lonesome black cat,
denying his dark shadow perched on the wall
inside the shattered room of broken memory
and leaving soon…
This is an acceptance post written for Poets Rally. Thanks to Ava who have given me the Thursday Poets Rally Poets Award #57. I voted for U Keep Walking Forward.
And here is my haiku:
There is a flower
facing its first time to bloom
clumsy corolla
The wind sings a song
a lullaby of winter--
the flower shivers.

Wow. I love the first poem. it's really dark and depressing, which is a good thing for this case because you captured the essence of the picture. Well done.
