THE HANDKERCHIEF

heavy babushka
wrought with widow’s drawn out tears 
a brief lover’s note

Kim, to my knowledge a babushka is either a grandmother or a kerchief. Where did you get the definition "handkerchief"? Just curious. Yes, in chess the Queen is the all-important piece. Thanks for stopping by. /

Handkerchief is listed as a synonym. I enjoyed using the word which could be used in many different ways for enjoyment in this haiku. Having relations of a Ukranian background I enjoyed. Hope you did too :)
