learning the pine needles in my spine

Note by the Guest Editor:
These poems have been pulled from my ever-growing document of favorite haiku.
Some I have admired for years, while others I have newly discovered. This is the
joy of poetry, as of life: its ever-changing course of discovery. I encourage all
readers of poetry to keep such a file. As far as has been possible, I have obtained
permission from the writers to share them.
– Paul Miller (paul m.)
Thank you so much to the triveni team and to paul for hosting my haiku today. This is my "go to the pine" poem, I suppose. I know it may feel like a very distant juxtaposition for most people, but that is how I tend to write. Thank you for the comments. Much appreciated. Robin
Beautiful one-line ku. Grix has given us a good concrete poem here. Leaning on a metaphor - the reference to the pain which is alive in her spine.
Good one.
Such a poignant monoku!
