Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

You are so good at these! 😁
A lot of heart and grief in a few lines. Well done, Cathy!
Oh, my heart! Beautifully done, my friend <3
We do search unfoundable things. 🙂
Oooh, this hit me because it can be taken in many ways and this Christmas is the first one we all will experience without my brother Scott. (So petals for the loved one who has wings.) 💕🎁Merry Christmas!!
Clever and gives me the movie vibe
Loved this, Cathy. Bet Jimmy Stewart would too.
This was so beautifully written. Loved it so much!
So few words but with deep meaning. Well done my friend
This is poignant and haunting. Well done!
This was so beautiful - you have such talent. Merry Christmas!
Short and sweet! There’s a touch of bittersweet beauty here, like searching for something lost but still holding on. I love the simplicity and depth!✨
What an interesting perspective and wonderful senryu, Cathy. So haunting and beautiful, too.
Yes, beautiful yet sad. A wonderful write.
Love image and a beautifully sad poem
Zu Zu! The quintessential “what if” movie. Loved your take on it, Cathy!
