This is beautiful.
Thank you Joanna. —BD
What a lovely testament to hope, Billie. I’m glad you actually saw this – it is such a happy image 🙂
Thank you Suraja. It was an uplifting moment for me, even though bitter-sweet given the context—much like the moment you describe in your touching “empty arms” haiku. —BD
Sari, Barrie: Thank you for your kind remarks. I saw the mistletoe during a relative’s brief hospice stay, so the poem is pure shasei. It filled me with deep emotion at the time. I’ve been thinking about this image for years, —BD
Wonderful haiku and so many emotions in this haiku. Pulse is the perfect home for your haiku Billie. Congrats!
Billie, congratulations on this fine poem in PULSE. That door with mistletoe brings on a cascade of emotions going in many directions.
