Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, September 12th 2018 “unfinished”

“… challenge you this week to create the third, missing, line and than write a haibun with that completed haiku in it. Your haibun may have a maximum of 150 words (including the completed haiku).
Here is that unfinished haiku:”

missing a wife
the bamboo grass dives under —
submerged in mourning.

Ergo, the Ogre

The aspect of mourning fits the unfinished haiku so well!

  Thank you! I accidentally finished the wrong Haiku, though. Ooops!

It is interesting to see where you went.
We were on similar thoughts.
I created a sort of story without a haibun.

Cheers, Jules

A very nice last line. Makes the feeling of missing very strong. Thank you for sharing.
