I pictured my grandma when I read your haiku… she wasn’t a sergeant’s wife but the haiku seems to fit her. Love it Mark!
such a sorrowful vision.
reality of life ~ loss and death of loved ones ~ powerful haiku
Wishing you a Happy Weekend ~ ^_^
Ow, so powerfully profound.
I see this so clearly… I can also feel what it would be like to enfold her into my arms…
The shawl was a comfort to her. It touched her softly just as the sergeant had done.
Ouch…..
Breaks my heart
