Analysis of Haiku LXVI - LXX: on a lifetime

Corneigh Hoff 1950 (Assendelft)



(Haiku LXVI)
don't take for granted
what appears to be special:
our morning coffee

(Haiku LXVII)
don't take for granted
the harsh and fierce discussions
our blatant presence

(Haiku LXVIII)
don't take for granted
the smiles and words of wisdom
our joyful secrets

(Haiku LXIX)
don't take for granted
the taste and smell of kissing
happiness and bliss

(Haiku LXX)
don't take for granted
my love and admiration
so profound and deep
