Haiku/Senryu / The Circle Is Complete

Dancing to church bells
in orchard of white blossoms
he lays her to rest

I wonder at the joy the relationship presented to those who could only watch.

I’m not sure of the image…a memory, one last turn before interned? I surrender. Overall 10

Good. Evokes hooded priests and woeful, funereal woebegone. Super.

There seems to be a contradictory theme here. on the surface you seem to be talking about a funeral he lays her to rest. However dancing to church bells suggests a joyful occasion like a wedding. Interesting. Wonder if you intended to denote the passage of time. Bookends of a relationship. The white blossoms showing tenderness peace and care.Strange how by condensing the amount of words you use you express so much.

You put me in the moment.  I like the irony of the “greiving” dancing.  Well done.  A good hybrid haiku/senryu.  I like it.
