The Donor

My chest sliced open
My family prayed--his wept.
In death he gave life.

This haiku is about my liver transplant experience. I will be eternally grateful to the sweet soul who was my donor.

Thanks to the kind folks in the Poetry Workshop at The Writer's Block who gave me their support and suggestions.

Here's my entry:

Thinking of Freedom

I let my hair grow
To make more room for my brain
But it was no use.

Hope you enjoy!

This one is from my toddler. He told me what to write, I did my best to fit the syllable pattern .

Turtles and doggies
Don't forget bears and horsies
My best and favourites.

I can't decide if favourite has three syllables.
These are a few of my fave-or-ite things.

I blame Julie Andrews and my lazy Australian pronunciation. I have a tendency to try to fit everything in one syllable. Mumble it fast favrit... One syllable 😂.
And the fact that it is 6am and precoffee too early Sunday morning.

Edit : I made a post too.
Thanks for running a cool contest @moonleesteem

Welcome... @girlbeforemirror very nice poem, I liked it.
I must check for sure the syllables in it... this word is very tricky 🤓.
Good Luck 🍀

Hey, I check it and you would have gotten into the top 3 but unfortunately "favorite or favourite" is actually 3 syllables, but not to worry, there is always next week's contest starting today :)
