I thought this was a perfect sympathy piece for Nomi. I hadn't heard is wife died; I think I reviewed one of his pieces not that long ago. But this haiku type piece had perfect balance, the nature image, and the epiphany moment to make a perfect haiku. I thought the flower image great for capturing that sense of the cycle of season and life, and the fragrance that drifts into eternity has elements of the persistence of memory and hope in the life to come. Nice job with this one. estory

    Oh, estory, thank you so much, for the wonderful review and stars. I'm so glad it resonated with you. Haibun poetry is one of my favourite ones. My thoughts are with Nomi. Thanks again, Ulla:)))

For those of us that have marriage partners would dread the thought that their spouses would be gone before them, but when one has that hope within them it's merely a transitional happening, the wonderful things like family is a sharing of being proud parents and grand parents. Beautifully written Ulla, blessings Roy

What a beautiful Haibun for Nomi's wife. The yellow tulip is such a great metaphor for Nomi's wonderful wife in heaven. You inspire me to write one, too.

Excellent.

Oh Ulla, what a lovely poem of your feelings about Nomi's loss. As friends we all have our own special feelings about each other and you told yours so beautifully in this lovely poem. I can almost see you sitting on your terrace as you thought about a friend and someone who you care about in this wonderful second family. You have me crying again now. So thank you for writing this and adding to the book, thank you for being here and for being you. The best kind of friend there is.
Love, Debi

Oh, Ulla, this simple and beautiful for our dear Nomi. I'm sure he will love it. Thank you for this lovely addition to the book. A haibun, I believe.

Dear Nomi, again, my sincere condolences in your great loss. I trust the Lord is circling you with His comfort.

Bless you, my friend.

A haibun! What an elegant way to express your condolences to Nomi! I think you and I posted at the same time as we are both "chapter 4" now! (I don't know if Tom can fix that)--

This is beautifully written Ulla. I know he will take comfort here...

    Thank you so much, Karenina. I hope Tom has sorted it out. That is not on the fore of my mind. Lol. Ulla xxx

    Not an issue. He said I could edit my chapter number so I think I'm at chapter eleven. Who knew it would be that easy?
