Here's my motherhood haiku about my stage of my hero's poetry journey, inspired by the lines "...a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade."

My hive is empty

Children like bees left their hive

Loneliness sets in.

Thank you, Megan, for always inspiring us. My haiku'ed words to reflect the tenacious journey into aging:

Wilted azaleas

yet hold eager pods nurtured

to light up the world.

Sandra, thank you! Always a good choice to go with a flower you can see right outside your window.
