In nine words so much of a story told and still so much untold too.

A masterpiece.

Thank you for sharing this haiku.


scent of snow

unable to recall

my father's voice


Did the father die?

Or did he move away from her and her mother?

Or did the mother move away taking custody of her child?


scent of snow ...

Can it be the scent of the narrator building a snowman, or playing in the snow with her father? Or was it in winter that the N and her father were separated? L1 is a powerful line with a strong impact.

So personal. Caught in the scent of a cold moment ...what we don't remember! I think this brings us all into ourselves. Do we remember? Our emotions vary. We're we close? In my case yes. My hero but he intentionally disappeared... but so I remember? I don’t know! Thank you Claire...and Kala!
