Comment from June Sargent
What a lovely tribute to the sweet memories we have of loved ones who haves passed. Like a gentle breeze that leaves a final caress. I'm still swaying from the loss of three dear friends in the past four months. 'Til we meet again, I fondly wave. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.

Comment from LIJ Red
I heard that trees flapping made the wind blow. We have autumn winds as well as March winds and I'll wager the trees hate to see the mild winds go, knowing that winter's coming...excellent five/seven/five

Comment from Dan McCurdy
This is kind of fascinating in that it paints a picture where the moving branches and gentle winds are unrelated... the branches wave, the winds blow, but one is not causal of the other. Haikus are perfect for creating that sense of detachment, and that detachment helps to paint the picture of grief to honor your friend.
Nicely done.

Kahpot, this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 poetry contest. All syllables are in check to convey a message of fleeting moments that can linger after they are gone. Nicely done on this enjoyable read. ~DD

Comment from TheStoryMan
A wonderfully written poem. Those we've lost will always sway us and we shall always wave goodbye as does the branches of the trees when the wind moves through them. It's a lovely sentiment. Good luck in your contest.
