    who's to say I'm not whoever do I think I am

    (made me think of this oldie of mine from Modern Haiku)

    This is so good and elicits a number of responses: laughter, resignation, sadness… I immediately think of clothes that no longer fit, or clothes that belong to my past/youth. Then I imagine clothes that belonged to someone else – a husband or partner who has died – and then I think differently about 'the person I used to be'. It's wonderful when haiku work on different levels like this.

    Both evocative (if it's clothing) and creepy (if it's a ghost talking).

    Thank you all for the thoughtful and poetic responses!

    This is really good. It produces a mixture of mirth and sadness all at once.
