Haiku 39 - the Stone Cycle

my private field an embarrassment of dread stones, cold rain • buried in cheap wine obvious worthlessness stones, sinking • blue and gray despair red and purple my anger stones, submerged • color salvation — “Paint yellow,” she said stones, receding water • climb to clean air to yellow, orange, bright green stones, in my garden

I like the way you made a cycle of them and loved how they ended up so colorful.

Maybe it's being older, and realizing the reality of life's cycles that now have had time to come almost full circle. I don't know how I would survive without color, bright or sad. Thanks for the comment... Jack
