Dorie, this poem captures the quiet ache of hidden love and fading dreams with scaring precision. The Haiku structure mirrors the stillness and restraint of the emotions, making the darkness both literal and metaphorical...where longing, loss, and silence coexist.
Wow. This unfolded so quietly, the restraint, the silence, the ache between the lines. To me, it says loving through grief without naming it as such.
You are actually correct. It is a poem about love after grief.
Something I know well.💗

Thank you Dawn. You explained it exactly as I imagined it
Thanks, Dorie, for your compliment.
Wow what I really love is how it sounds - it’s structure, the choice of words really make it impactful despite it being only one verse. Amazing work
