HE COULD HAVE WAITED

He could have waited.
He did not. And now I see
Just an empty bench.

Cool!!! 👍
David, this is a wonderfully wistful and haunting haiku!! I really loved this! Which one of HappymessHappiness’ pieces inspired this? I would like to read it, if that’s ok??
Chuck
Here it is.

It’s basically the first seven words, but she used the contraction “didn’t.”
HappymessHappiness responded to your comment. She is happy:

Come read David’s beautiful and wistful – “He Could Have Waited”
Thank you for the reblog. It is much appreciated. Because of your reblog, the Militant Negro also reblogged the haiku.
