but lately I've been
grey as a cloud, no thunder,
just life without hue

sorry to hear that, Ellen (if your haiku is autobiographical). my past couple weeks haven't been that sunny either.

i was prompted to scribble this one after attending my aunt's funeral last week. seeing all my cousins and so many other people i hadn't seen in years (decades, in some cases) reminded me of a time long past. i just remember the anxiety i had to be older, and now, it seems like i should have relished my youth a bit more ;)
