HUMP Day Haiku
Late October 2011, I visited my aunt at her assisted living facility.
Her memory had been slipping, but she knew me and was very aware
of her surroundings. Across from the assisted living, at the entry
of the companion skilled nursing facility, grew a single maple.
It was in its full fall glory and she exclaimed several times
during my visit how beautiful it was.
In her memory, I share that tree and this haiku.
across the driveway
autumn tree clothed in scarlet
“look, how beautiful!”
In memory of Shirley Henry Dunn

It's a beautiful Haiku for your Aunt Shirley. The tree is soothing to look at. It must have been wonderful to see this tree outside her window. Sorry about your aunt. She lives in more beauty now. Thank you.
It's a wonderful haiku in memory of Aunt Shirley. I remember your telling us about it last fall. Hugs for you.
