hainka #7
winter on the wane
fading into memory
warmer days ahead
twinkle in blue eyes
wild mustache above wide smile
scent at nape of neck
silken hair ‘tween my fingers
fading into memory

haiku #70
gold tints evening sky
mean season drawing to end
winter takes last bow

Kate, breathtaking! Stunning paintings, verses intimate and nostalgic… knowing that the only constant is change…; -)

Perhaps… but isn’t ‘good genes’ just the ‘luck’ of the birth lottery?…; -)
