Andrea Dietrich Poet Haiku

A Diamond's Remnants

A Diamond's Remnants

beneath a full moon
their kiss in winter’s first snow. . . 
her soft eyes glowing

her delighted gasp
as he opens the ring case. . .
the night sky sparkles

the months since she died
he wakes sometimes to dreams of
diamonds in her eyes

in dementia’s fog
the snow, the sky and her eyes. . . 
a diamond's remnants

Wayland Bunch January 7, 2014 at 7:57 PM I really do like this form, and spent more time studying it than the others I think, and still think it's one of the harder forms to write. Great work, and as always, I'm sure you don't need luck for the contest, but I wish the best and you should do well.

Kelly Deschler January 7, 2014 at 6:11 PM I like the age progression from verse to verse. This is a very dramatic poem with beautiful imagery. Amazing work, Andrea! Good luck in the contest!...Thank you so much for the wonderful comments.

Nette Onclaud January 5, 2014 at 12:48 PM such pathos, andie... on top of the shelf; beautiful!.. huggs

Mark Peterson January 4, 2014 at 2:44 AM Probably the best Haiku I've ever read. It's also a very passionate, deep and caring write, tinged with melancholy in nostalgic hue.

Donna Jones January 2, 2014 at 6:08 PM Ahhh..a tearjerker...and winner.....great job Andrea
