Utabukuro #Geisha

I don't have much of Haiku knowledge nor do I know much about any renowned Haiku poets.

I am not much of a frog lover but I did like the Haiku about 'Geisha' written by Chèvrefeuille.

geisha's secret life
gathering tea leaves
for her lover

 as she always did

as long as i can recall

longing his return

 

dreaming his visit

she glows in his love's casket

as he hugs her tight

 

but her dream's broken

as she hears the cuckoos call

crestfallen within

 

mustering courage

she again gathers tea leaves

           for her lover......
