when an aching heart echoes
in an empty shell

chronicling my quarter life crisis
Oh so sad today, Bjorn…hope it is only the painting that is melancholy!
One of the poets on dVerse have passed away… so it fits there as well
Oh dear. So sorry to hear that.
perfect
goodness only Picasso and you together could portray such melancholy
My condolances for losing one of your poetry friends on dverse. This haiku sounds like an in memory … nicely done. I read a few poems written by your friend Dave King.
Oh, it is melancholy, it is! 😦

Bjorn, this is so beautiful.
I can relate to this, especially the empty shell aspect. Tragic, in a way, but that’s life sometimes…
may the poet who passed on recently rest in peace, Bjorn. an aching heart moment for sure. beautifully written.
Aching heart echoes… oh! that is so painful. A very sentimental take, Bjorn.
I think we both had similar thoughts today Bjorn 🙂
by the shore
Haunting and beautiful. Thank you!
Beautifully moving tribute, Bjorn.
in an empty shell

with shout of joy there

So rare from me recently. 😉
