As maternal love breaks me
You take your last breath

Thank you! That’s very sweet. I normally don’t write haiku, so this was certainly a challenge. Much appreciated.

You are too kind, sir. But I’ll take it! 🙂 Thank you so much. I like reading how people take your prompts in such different directions but I’ve been reluctant to join in since I don’t write poetry. Thanks, again, for the encouragement.

I tried to connect the lines and have them make sense which was the biggest challenge for me.
