shears for a watering can -
With you, she cut back

This gave me chills. So good, Charlotte. I can't wait to read more of your work.
Great job, I did some Haiku recently too. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/12-haiku-to-remember-the-disciples%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Nice! I want to join your Haiku club :)
Love it!
Damn. I'm seeing the potential of haikus to be really quite clever and deep. The pruning shears would have cut the flower cleanly; the watering can gave torture. Bravo! This is worthy of the awards, for sure. I hope you submit it, but I suppose now I'll have to check out your profile! ❤️
Says so much with just a few words!
So poignant - absolutely love this 💙
Hell. Yes. This is gorgeous, gave me tingles. Excellent writing, word choice, all of it. Well deserved top story!
Oh my gosh. I adore haikus and this is AMAZING 😁
Sorry forgot to say Congratulations on Top Story!
Perfect 🥰
Woah. This is stunning. Well done on Top Story. You have a new subscriber!
This was so deep and emotional! I loved your Haiku!
Your words are so poignant and beautifully heartbreaking xx
