Oh my heart.
That was powerful. I’ve read many of your articles about this subject and you have my deepest sympathies for what you’ve gone through. I hope your writing has helped you heal.
Gosh 💔
One second, I need to pick something up real quick - MY HEART what a shame it's shattered in million little pieces now that I've read this!!!
Wow! 😮 What an intense scenario this painted for me. Well done, Donna.
Omggg Donna! This is more terrifying than any horror story that I've ever read! Oh God! I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down. The impact of your Haiku hit me so hard! This is by far my favourite thing that you've written! Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
Oh, this is so heart-wrenchingly poignant. I'd missed this one, too.
Chills. There weren't many words but I truly felt every one of them. 💕
Oh my! This packed a serious punch in a small package. Well done, Donna. Wow!
😢😍 Thank You for sharing this 💜🙏💯
🫢😧 This is the deepest haiku I’ve read. I felt my heart drop and crack a little bit. Outstanding.
Holy cow, Donna! You wrote a whole novel in those three lines, beautifully! It got to me, hard!
This just brought me to tears. Just so powerful.
This. F**k, Donna. Hard-hitting, So powerful. So...speechless, I am!
Ouch!
I'm so sorry for your loss, so heart breaking!
Oh my. So much said in so few words. Excellent.
That’s is very sad , poem. It’s heartbreaking 😢

Oh my, this is so beautifully done, and the caution in this nearly brought me to my knees. Really, really great work. 😍
