blind fingers grope
flowers on the sill fade
they could not find the sun
I have a group of haiku that was written about sick family members, or friends that had passed away. They are the most special to me, but I have trouble sharing them. I decided to share this one with you, but I am keeping the others to myself for a while.
Failing at Haiku 
I understand that, needing to keep a piece of writing for yourself.
I love this haiku, just the thought that the flowers couldn’t find the sun despite being so close to it.

Difficult words, painful even. And yes, I think many of us have those hidden poems that had to be written, even if never shared. Hugs.

Sometimes the most personal stuff is the stuff that really resonates with other people. This haiku definitely touched me, especially with the accompanying picture. Well done, and thank you for sharing.

Thanks Traci! I have noticed that my personal stuff resonates better than the poems that I just make up. I may have to share some more soon.

Thanks for sharing. I think it can be really healthy if we share the sad stuff, as well as the happier stuff. But I understand it can be hard to open up.

Thanks for reading Traveler!
It is hard to open up, but people have been pretty kind to me here so it is getting easier.
