blurring hard iron bars of

The Unnamed
Day and night, she weeps
For the unused little clothes --
And the tiny grave.
Check out the original post here.Touched me right to the bone..
My bestie just lost her newborn baby last October, and times have been tough, this Haiku captures the feels 🖤
Please send my condolences to your friend. It must've been very hard for her. I'm so sorry. I can only imagine all the pain she's going through.
Thank you🖤
Welcome @lyxng
We were deeply touched too, by this Haiku... it was very beautiful and sad at the same time... very spiritual.
Good Luck 🍀
Thank you @moonleesteem!
It
Amid the quiet night
it glided past my face, then
I heard the hushed voice
