Ashley, I can't describe how deep this poem is! It is phenomenal! What is a high-ku by the way?
This was both so deep and relatable! Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
Great Hai-ku.
I high-ku too. This is powerful. And while I have no experience with your situation, I feel this for my own reasons. That’s the great thing about poetry.
That's a poweful bloody haiku, Ashley. Echoing the words of some others, hope you're doing okay. Writing is a great way to process things. This was awesome! First class stuff. Just sorry it's come from a bad place, but I guess a lot of the best writing does!
A great job! Hope you are feeling okay today. ☺️
Very good point, and a heartbreaking haiku.
Hope you’re feeling ok. 🩵
Lol. Exactly how i feel. Could help us heal tho, i guess thats all we can do ❤️
