I share a beautiful haiku from an earlier time:
the childless woman,
how tender she is
to the dolls!
© Hattori Ransetsu (1654-1707)
…and my 21st century interpretation:
post-abortion grief
a mother’s searching heart-aches
collects life-like dolls
link to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai and “childless woman”…

You’ve captured so much reality in a haiku. The title says to much.

That should read SO much!

Thanks for commenting…and clarifying, Victoria. I appreciate you!

Oof — so very sad —

A very real heartache.

Very sad this one. But the prompt wasn’t easy to lead anywhere else; nicely done IMHO.

Thank you, Greg.

Sad… really heartbreaking.

Yes, it is.
