exhaust their repertoire

grandma’s portrait
the removalist leaves
his signature

powerful forces used for good & evil…
apple blossoms…
my dreams too leave
one by one

comings & goings…
slowing
past the old mansion
I conjure up its past
of wine and rustling silk
some dark deeds too

reflecting moment by moment . . . .
One day, long ago, this happened and that happened. Every single thing had a distinct meaning. And every thing happened for real. Else, I couldn't have imagined it.

DEJA-KU is a term coined by Michael Dylan Welch for haiku that bring to mind other poems. Good kinds of deja-ku include sharing the same subject or season word, allusion (or honkadori, as it's called in Japan), parody, and homage. Bad kinds of deja-ku include excess similarity to other poems, cryptomnesia, and plagiarism. Please add to the discussion.
