Slivers of burnt green
now brown, maudlin, droopy, still
no love, death, hope lost.

Shoes covering feet
where once toes played in the sand
utter confinement.

Walking bare feet on the grass is not only soothing but also enjoyable. Nice Haiku.

There’s something about green grass that tickles the feet to come out of the shoes and enjoy the freshness…Loss of hope can take away color of life drastically. Nicely done Laurie, loved both of your takes

Birth, death and, I believe, even grass participates in the hope of loving regeneration.
Great thought provoking (at least for me) haiku

I love your take on the prompt. My feet demand to be barefoot in the grass when the warm breezes of summer have come. Lovely!

I like your take on the prompt. Shoes are very confining after the freedom of having ones toes play in the sand.
