I prepare for a dear friend's
posthumous book launch
the night sky
tonight
one more star
river of stars -
I wave both hello & goodbye
to one blinking

My lovely friend Mary Palmer died of cancer last Summer.
I saw her two weeks before she died and we worked on her haiku selection in a book due to be launched this evening at Waterstone's, Bath Branch, U.K.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your comments.
I didn't read any of my own haiku as it was a delight and honour to read some of Mary's haiku that appeared in her book.
I will miss her dreadfully, she really did light up any poetry event.
Alan
