    One of the more criptic worded poems by ED. The summary was very helpful here.

    Bill, lol! It has rained a lot here during the last weeks. The fun fact is that now, at the beginning of Summer, temperatures are much milder than they were in winter( sometimes ascending to 35ºC or almost). Hoping for a milder summer, with enough rain but without floods.

    Love Sara´s magical images and her romanticism"

    I thought the inconclusive detail was the charm of the poem, but the analysis was very helpful providing context.

    Sorry I touched a nerve...

    Google AI Overview: "Visiting the Graves" by Kobayashi Issa is a poignant haiku that captures the speaker's melancholic feelings while visiting a graveyard, expressing a deep sense of empathy for the departed and a reflection on the impermanence of life, often interpreted as a meditation on the cycle of death and the fragility of existence.
    Key points about the haiku:
    • Simple imagery:
    The poem uses simple imagery of visiting graves, which evokes a sense of solemnity and contemplation.
    • Emotional depth:
    Despite its brevity, the haiku conveys a profound sadness and a deep connection to the deceased.
    • Theme of transience:
    The act of visiting graves serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life.

    Possible interpretations:
    Personal loss:
    • Some readers interpret the poem as a reflection on the poet's own personal loss, possibly related to the death of loved ones.
    Universal human experience:
    • The poem can also be seen as a broader reflection on the universal experience of grief and mortality. "

    Enjoyed the poem and summary

    Weird... took out one link and it worked. The link was the corrected link to AB's poem because the last exclamation point got chopped off... go figger.

    PS... putting an exclamation point inside parentheses is apparently a no-no.

    Same thing happened to me some days ago. I had to choose another poem to be able to post.

    Yes, I knew about this curate, but forgot to mention it. There is no evidence of her being in love with him, but in her novel Agnes Grey, the protagonist falls in love with a young curate. In the novel they marry and live "happily ever after".

    Enjoyed the notorious rider. What would "Z" poems do without the zebra?
