running wild
Mother is drugged
children raising themselves
soul feels empty
Distance between hearts
empty spaces treacherous
love slowly fills

i so admire anyone who takes on a haiku challenge. i find it difficult. i think i'm just too wody for the short lines of haiku. yours is heartfelt and wonderful!!
Heart being pulled on here, Lisa! Wonderful job. That last one is a gem.
Chilling regret in every word of your poem, thanks for the link to Haiku Bones.
And Julie, haiku should be a breeze for you - take a happy approach. Let the prompt word create a reaction and bash down 3 lines - don't edit it, and you'll be amazed!
Not sure what all is meant by this painting, but I can relate. Similar life. And, yes, Regret.
Heartbreaking and poignant...both your words and your drawing.
powerful as a whole, but the third haiku to me is especially striking in its images.
Powerful shades of regret. Terrific word usage.
Great haikus Lisa! It is so hard to get a good mesage in such a short poem, and you did it! I will check out that website...sounds very cool!
so glad you found the road out
good poem
