Tears that did not fall
Bottled up in your scarred heart
Those I shed for you
*********************************
This senryu came from a line I penned in my Through The Lens Challenge story/poem wherein I told the true tale of how a photograph I took came to be. That tale is a heartfelt journey through the halls of memory about the power of True Forever Love. Writing it affected me personally as did the day it encapsulates.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

That's a beautifully poignant haiku. The simplicity of the form contrasts with the depth of the emotion, making the unspoken feelings even more impactful.
This is the best haiku. It amazes me how so few words can speak volumes🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This hit me so hard. Loved your poem!
