She didn’t give thought
To the infant becoming
The source of her pain
~~~
She jumped in the lake
Without so much as a thought
Her life found its source

#43 Prompt: Write a haiku using the words “thought” and “source”

This one was really a challenge. Only my second attempt, I find the connection of lines 1 & 2 then 3 & 4 difficult. The first haiku doesn’t have the connection so I wrote a second one that does (I think). 🙂 Cheers.

I find the two sentences the most challenging part as well. I am most moved by your first Haiku, but the second also has deep meaning.

It really is tough getting them to work together as a sentence. Thank you. 🙂

They are both so visceral and I feel a resonance with both. The second one brings beautiful images to mind, and reminds me of the film “Children of a Lesser God”, an old one but one of my favourites.

I never saw that film (or play…was it a play, too?) but have heard a lot about it. Thank you so much.
This is new for me and I really appreciate your lovely comments.

It was a film, don’t know if it was a play as well.

Hello Sarah! Both your haiku are good and profound, but also sad. Well done.
