Line, your poem is emotionally brilliant! That last word makes it so. The only thing I would change is not to give away your powerful ending in your title. Using 'What Was Left' as your title would leave that surprise ending that makes your monoku so great IMHO. hugs, Connie

Thanks for your delightful visit and comment, Connie. I've given my monoku a different title. I certainly do appreciate your excellent suggestion.

Just like that old adage (that was made into a TV show, actually): It's not what you say that counts---it's what you don't say! ... Only your poem is SO much more delicately phrased. :) gw
