I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Mother's Day Haiku

hot tomato soup
brown bread broken into it –
mother’s comfort food

*

my pretty mother –
different from her 
I felt ugly

*


I was her first –
she told me, when I cried 
she cried too

*

did she know me
as her only daughter
that last day?


Written for the 'Mother's Day' prompt by Chevrefeuille at Carpe Diem.
