Ring of Roses
Crisp within her vase
Dead red roses on display
Fragile in the light
Lack of sickly scent
Seeing beauty in decay
Brittleness deflects
Look but do not touch
Your fingers are forbidden
Petals turn to dust
Floral deviance
Delighting in senescence
Ring of rosy death

Anniversary Haiku
This is my first experiment with haiku - it was a bit clumsy so thanks to Winston for his comment :)
Her scars are itching
The anniversary looms
No celebration
