Read aloud the guttural sounds crisp as the grief. I love haiku for their capture of a moment.

Such a heartfelt haiku Nette - your mother would love this, but what am I saying, your mom knows and thanks you for your everlasting love and the joy you have brought her with flowers from her garden! Good luck for the contest Nette!
