Urns



----------------------
The yarn of a blest

Deep in the chest, holds our mourn

For the Ash of gone.

This is my first ever try at poetry. So please leave your comments and suggestions to improve. 
This post is linked to the HAIKU HEIGHTS weekly haiku prompts. Hope this follows Haiku, or Senryu norms.

  1. There's something faintly reminiscent of the work of e e cummings in this piece. Enigmatic!

  15. Only suggestion, please continue writing poems. You wrote this Haiku with a lot of depth. Not only the words even the picture is excellent which makes the entire post a delightful experience for your readers.

    I have read two more Haikus on the same subject last week. So, I can say I really admire your treatment...
