HAIKU HEIGHTS, prompt 95 "urn"


Another saturday's Haiku Heights prompt. This week the prompt is "urn". What can I do with this prompt? I have given it a try, but it wasn't easy.

For my brother ... I will miss you forever.

in loving memory -
above the fireplace
my brother's urn

my brother's urn
a still life of remembrance
tears in my eyes

I wish ...
that there was no urn for him
and he was still alive



Sincerely

Thank you all for your kind words. Writing these haiku was really a relief ... at last I could find the words to write a remembrance haiku for my beloved brother.
