Weaving Woes

When mourning dove sings,
weave moonlit woes from silver, 
syllables of stars.

As Morning Star fades from dawn, a heart says goodbye to sorrow, love will return on rhythm of the 'morrow...J.A.B.

Ahhh!! I can no longer hear the mourning doves sing and I wonder do they migrate or have they gone into hiding for the winter. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Three delightful lines which reach a climax in the end line. This would have been ideal for Matt Caliri's haiku contest. ~ Regards // paul

3 scenes. 3 moods. 3 lines. A complete painting ofa heart’s felt circle. And true…so true. But then, i interpret “ the syllables of stars” as joyful, which the song of the mourning dove when with its mate can also be. Turn, turn, turn… Lovely penning. Hugs, sally
