Notes About The Poem

Written on 18th February – 2 days before my father died

Morning Or Mourning

Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven

Written on 18th February 2 days before my father died

This poem is very touching and very appropriate. You have conveyed so much in just a few words. You must have sensed he would not be with you much longer.

Awesome gem. I deliberately scrolled to find your haiku, so as to get keen on the form. Thank you. Have more to edit. Blessings galore and have a wonderful cozy weekend. The passing of your Dad reminds me of the passing of my Mom.
