Haiku - 15

Jean Baptiste Corot 1845

The windmill slows down /
Soft footsteps on the stone floor /
My heart picks up speed //

A great haiku.
Paints an image of mystery - whose footsteps?

Nice Haiku. You have created a mystery in three lines. I think the footsteps belong to a lover. Well done.

Great scene setting in this one; it takes the imagination all sorts of places. Is it a lover approaching, or someone with evil intent? So many questions...
