A fine cemetery haiku Charles, brrrr!
This really evokes a mood, for sure. Good ku, IMHO.
Keenly observed detail, moving image.
Thank you
Charles!
Good one, Charles.

on the graves;

This chill goes deep…
a memorable moment!
Geeze man…this is very dark and moody. Stay away from knives and loaded guns fo awhile. Powerful haiku. Good job, Charlie.

meets the brown
I love this…I think it’s great at evoking emotion and grace.
