Wonder wraps my soul
awe evanesces to warmth
How blessed we should feel...

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

nice gratitude for the weather
✒️Rain, thunderstorms, and wind are among my favorite memories. They - the elements and memories - are my warm blankets. Your haiku is lovely. Post-Midnight Musings: 2026 is a few moons away, and despite the dystopian traumas of 2025, the collective voices of love and "in enemies' faces" righteous anger give me hope. Added to global awakenings are a few personal wins that bring me Grace. Loved ones are alive and thriving. FYI: New personal and career responsibilities are coming my way in the new year. I look forward to them; however, I will have less opportunities to check on your growing literary works. Though you may not see my encouragement on Vocal, please remember that I remain proud of you ... and BeggleDert has grown. It's like a living thing. When I finally self-publish, I hope to get that news to you with a quickness. Bye for now, Lady Novel. ✒️🩵💫✒️
So beautifully written. Loved it!
Such an achingly lovely expression of gratitude. Genuinely wonderful haiku, Novel! :)
