GLOSS






The gloss has worn off
through many years of touching
a picture of you

  4. WOW! This is really a nice haiku Ellecee. Love the way you've used the prompt in this one ... so nostalgic and ... a little bit melancholic.

  15. This one is layered with meaning upon meaning...

    For example, did she only have a picture of him as she lived with him all those years, and suddenly she woke up one day to find that the picture was wrong?
