Thank you for reading my work. Haiku demand so much with so little space. I'm glad you like this one.. read more
Nice work. I love Haiku but I haven't done anything yet. Thanks for sharing this thought about love found out in dreams and then lose it again when you wake up.

Reading this I'm struck by the same pronunciation but different spelling of mourning and morning. It kind of gives a whole new level of thought to this.

it's difficult to wake up from a dream of someone you love and is no longer there. good mourning indeed.

Fine short poem,haiku,which confirms my belief that poetic energy can be transported very compressed.Like the way you play with mourning/morning and the
way you give the subject a new touch.Good work.
