Love the haiku style. This one being 5/3/5. The centered lines. And from crying a tear to busting a tear.

Got a chuckle at the last one. I have never had that one to happen just not be able to zip up pants that I thought I could still wear which indicated I need to cut back on the groceries a little. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

WoW! Maureen, You did a exellent job with contest theme. The repeated use of "One Last Tear" in each "stand "alone" verse was just brilliant! I must that I related to the last one alot( I'm having a hard zipping my pants as I write lol!) If you're not on the winners I would be shocked:-) Alexis
