who in the mirror
reflecting upon the self~
winter is coming
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
ice walled mirror
reflecting back no one now~
spring it seems has gone
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
this old wintered face
mirrors time reflections passed~
i still see my youth
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
a winter’s mirror
my image reflected there~
it is not me though
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
time waits for no man
space curves through winter’s hard frost~
the Tao of physics
~ ~ ~ ~
snows are receding
old engine fires up here~
all is well it seems
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
i do what I can
spring to winter is one way~
blossom will not rise
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I like this collection. This line, especially:
“space curves through winter’s hard frost”
it seems very descriptive of the effects of aging to me. The mirror of the Winter of life upon your visage. It’s a powerful reflrction
I still see my youth in the mirror as well.
i like the play between spring/winter echoing within each other/within time
Winter and spring arranged i this wonderful tableau…..i like it!
I like the seasons here – amn and nature
Love to trace the youth in the mirror too… and the curvature of space time works so well
More of us think “its not me though” when looking in our mirrors! Wonderful series of haiku verse.
A good selection of haiku, Paul. My favourite has to be:
‘this old wintered face
mirrors time reflections passed~
i still see my youth’.
Nice set of haiku! I like the last one best, never thought of it that way, Paul.
A fine haiku sequence, Paul!
