Her husband now gone She must learn to eat alone Breakfast, lunch, dinner ***** Note: A "Human Haiku" is called a senryu. For more on Haiku and Senryu, I invite you to check out this article by Elizabeth St Jacques. ***** photo credit:Â iStockphoto/Donna Coleman
This Haiku tugs at my heart, since my mom is still learning to eat alone. It’s a good reminder to take a meal now and then with a lonely soul. Well done, Lori. And thank you for including the link to Elizabeth St. Jacques’ article. I enjoyed that, too. I love Haiku!
“Take a meal now and then with a lonely soul.” Beautifully said, Robin.
Really liking the photo with it- they complimented each other.
And they both made me sad.
You have a way to write poignant poetry without it descending into sentimentalism.
Thanks, Anita.
Few words, so rich!
Good to hear from you, Joanie. Thanks.
Very strong imagery! Beautiful senryu!
I’m so glad you like it. Thank you for commenting, Kristina.
