The Ecstasy of Love

Like a summer breeze,
Touching my skin, your love flows
Your laughter echoes
In my heart, a symphony
Alt: Laughter as music, representing the joy found in love

The Sting of Loss

Memories like knives
Each cut, a piece of you lost
Silent, empty house
The echo of your voice haunts
Alt: Empty house, a reminder of the void left by a departed loved one

Memories: The Bridge between Past and Present

A faded photograph
Captures a moment, a love
The scent of perfume
Ignites a spark, a memory
Alt: The power of scent to evoke nostalgic memories

The Art of Haiku in "One More Memory"

Carter's masterful handling of the haiku form is evident throughout the collection. She adheres to the traditional structure of haiku: three lines with five syllables, seven syllables, and five syllables respectively. However, within this brevity, she weaves intricate narratives that encapsulate a wealth of emotion.

The Power of Condensation

The concise nature of haiku forces poets to distill emotions and experiences into their purest essence. Carter's haiku are like tiny gems, each one capturing a fleeting moment, a profound insight, or a poignant memory with remarkable precision.

A single teardrop
A world of sorrow, unspoken
The flame flickers low
A love once bright, now fading
Alt: Flame, a metaphor for the dwindling intensity of love

The Art of Contrast

Carter frequently employs juxtaposition to create a sense of tension and depth within her haiku. She juxtaposes images of love and loss, beauty and pain, the past and the present, evoking a profound emotional resonance.

Petals gently fall
The cherry blossom's fleeting
A broken mirror
Reflects a fragmented love
Alt: Broken mirror, a metaphor for a shattered relationship
