widow's tears

Author Notes
Widow's Tears is a flower and in juxtaposition a woman who lost her husband.
MODERN HAIKU is the English adaptation of Classic Haiku. It's written in one to four lines with no strict syllable count, but as brief as possible. Images don't need to be taken from nature but often do. Seasonality is optional but often does. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. Haiku never rhymes. The em-dash ( -- ) emphasizes an interruption in speech before the satori. The Haiku Foundation of America
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
