Haiku My Heart Friday
from Recuerda Mi Corazon
I love this haiku. I want to relate my own dealings with grief and can do so vividly with these words. This is so right on with my own life it makes me wonder how you knew.
Peace.
i love spadoman’s words…”it makes me wonder how you knew”…
that is the gift of a poets heart.
certainly you offer us this…
tying our hearts with your introspection, reveries and images of profound beauty.
i love knowing you are here.
I wonder if the mundane numbs the flashes of pain, or whether the ordinariness temporarily pulls our focus away from what feels like it will burn us to ash?
I’m about to go to the funeral of a friend’s beloved mother; this haiku is so true and so poignant.
Love what you’ve done with this. The haiku and image go beautifully together.
What a beautiful, striking image. Truer words cannot be written… ‘Grief’s parenthesis’ is a perfect analogy.
~Deb
The everydayness of our lives can help to distract our feelings.
hello uma, i just found this prompt and love it… grief is so very, very painful just talking abt it, thinking abt it encircles my soul and leaves me empty… you have captured it perfectly within the parenthesis.. great form to capture the how of grief and how it separates one…
oh, so true.. I think the best way to go past grief is to move forward like that was part of our daily routine..!
