Straw



on a cold bleak night
maiden rests her new born babe
in a bed of straw



giggling children
resting in straw
old fashioned hayride



as lovers walk home
one last golden straw
pulled from long hair

  2. How romantic, particularly that last one there.. I can just see a young couple in love, walking down the street under a glowing winter's moon.. They're laughing and their laughter rings out through the street as he pulls another piece of straw from her hair.. Then they kiss.. It's a fairy tale!! So sorry this comment is so long, but I get all giddy with excitement when someone's haiku brings out that vision and I can see it so vividly! Thank you for sharing!

  7. Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments that certainly brought warmth to my heart. Christmas play in the morning, and a flurry of sewing for gifts so no time to answer individually. Thanks!
