Haiku for Memorial Day

Ellen Grace Olinger

ancient lilacs
cover the graves

My poem was published years ago in SMILE, Joyce M. Johnson, Ed. and Humoresque, Jean Calkins, Ed.

Reprinted at Short Holiday Poems and Large Print Poems yesterday, if you would like to visit these blogs. I still remember seeing this poem.
