I touch the sea, too
scent of falling leaves
– sense of fading dreams
suddenly, a ladybug!

Winter memories – I guess we all like this during the Christmas season, but here it’s already 13.5° C in the morning. So, I guess I’ll light a candle this evening.

I like this one very much, as shadows can be so cleverly used in haiku, and here certainly were. They also made your haiku very much alive, as well as bringing in a touch of Plato philosophy!

An interesting comment Hamish … I adore candles and the dancing shadows they create. Glad you found Plato in the haiku.
