Happy now, MOTHER?!
So after reading Lana V Lynx series. I came across this cute little doll in a park. I was prompted to take the picture by the memory of her series, what a coincidence. Not for the same reason as was written in the series — mind you. But I wanted to use it in this haiku incase it added or maybe even answered, the mystery… maybe it complicated it, enjoy! ♥️
Mother played songs now 🎶
💓Hearts stopped in her empty nest
Door swung, chain stayed taut. 👻

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Creepy little doll, but it pairs superbly with your words. Sad and suspenseful at the same time. Excellent haiku!
I like the atmosphere you created, and this sense of suspense that makes me want to know what happens next!
Oh, twisting my heartstrings <3
Those second and third line were especially so sad. Loved your photo and Haiku!
I feel despair for this forgotten doll with your words. Very well written.
To me this is so sad the image of a forgotten toy and the locked door.
Oh wow, Caitlin, that is a perfect entry to the challenge! Creepy and vague enough to let the reader's imagination run in various directions. And thanks for the Ditched shout-out, I published Part 3 yesterday.
Phenomenal writing CC! Brilliant work my friend! 👏🏾
Oh yes! It was perfect to find that creepy doll for this! lol
Phew....now that is scary!!!!!! I wonder whether I'd see mum in the same way!! And there's this thing about dolls...they're creepy!
