Kaleidoscope of Memories

by
Kylie Villarreal

I chose the title “Kaleidoscope of Memories” because most
of the haiku’s I chose are memories of mine or from someone
I know. I chose these haiku in particular because I feel
they are some of my best work. I am proud of these haiku
that I have written and I hope you enjoy reading them as
much as I enjoyed writing them.

a grand ballroom
full of laughter and music
the man stands alone 

friends laugh together
she applies her makeup
heartbroken

music playing on the boat
next to us
sunset in the distance

10, 9, 8 . . .
slipping away
under the knife

gazing at the scenic view
minutes turn
into hours

a boy gifts flowers
to his mother again
the grave site is full

white wedding dress
hidden in the closet
spring cleaning
