Please disregard my comment re the email address – feel really stupid as I see it's not publicly displayed. So sorry! As they say – "duh!" And yes, the haiku – which is what tinywords is all about- lovely poem, a bow to the poet indeed!
winter rose
the way
he remembers her
Mary, I've removed your previous comment. Thanks for letting us know you've figured it out.
It's strange, but each time I read this I think of daisies! I think it's because 'trying to remember, trying to forget' reminds me of 'he loves me, he loves me not'!
The fact that these are winter roses can only mean the end of something. Beautifully sad.
