Haiku My Heart


A time travel scent
footsteps on crushed lavendar
to Grandma's canyon

She used to walk there
gathering fragrant moments
of time to herself

Now and whenever
I want to revisit her
lavendar transports

to
Haiku my heart completely.

    "fragrant moments of time" -- like a sunny window in a cool room. Gorgeous :)

    Fragrance is such a strong reminder of the past. Whenever I smell fresh baked bread, I am transported to my grandparents' kitchen.

    Smells always bring memories back the quickest.
    Lavender is one of my most favorite smells.
    You Haiku is simply beautiful Gemma!

    What lovely haikus in honor of your grandma. You did a full story in three rounds of haiku, or do we call them verses?

    This is so lovely... my favorite is, "gathering fragrant moments of time..." this is what you have done with your words and verse, transporting us with you...
