Blank walls, waiting for
beauty. Tape, putty, tacks; No
awe there. Wait for it.

I write, you in mind.
Long walks, singing in my room.
Picnics at the park.

Scraps of nostalgic
value. Unusual blooms.
A poem for you.

The wall, no longer
blank, white, or bare. Memories
cloak the emptiness

I'm not sure if it really counts as A Haiku, it's really four Haikus strung together. But I did really work hard to make every verse as a haiku. I wrote it for my dear friend, Max :)
