Haiku 27 Life Friend

mornings she greets me

                               love lines wrinkle her long face

                                    tall, proud, my oak tree

Most kind -- but it is your imagination that transforms the words into the forest of images . . . and it is your ability to love and be loved that brings life the words. a partnership of good friends.
