there is one memory
something that will
not fade away
but remain, persistent
as the ghost of wildflowers
gathered up, held close
petals, stamens pressed
without regard for
bright pollen, permanently
staining a white summer blouse
there will always be
this one, indelible trace
preserved here (hand touching
heart) forever
ONE SINGLE IMPRESSION offers a weekly prompt for anyone to write and share haiku and other poetic forms. Thanks to the sponsors for this opportunity!
