memories from past
yellow flowers on her grave
left us long ago

left us long ago
I recall her yellow skin
touch my head with love

My grandmother died a very old woman when I was just a child, picture must be more than 100 years old. On the photo she is the young woman to the left.

    • She never thought so, and nobody said it. She grew up with pretty low self-esteem I think, From the picture I have seen, she was a very nice looking lady I think.

    • Thank you for your comment. I think she is beautiful, but everyone always said her sister was the beautiful one, and I think you can see that reflected in how the picture is taken…

  1. Well written cascading haiku Bjorn. I like this picture and that sepia -color is really awesome. Thank you for sharing your lovely memories to your grandmother. And … thank you for your daily participation. It’s always a joy to read your haiku.

  2. Aaaah, those old pics of our dear relatives…, so moving.
    Beautiful pic and very pretty grandma.
    Your cascade haiku trio is as lovely as the image.
    🙂
