Sparks the candle therein

FLOWER Bloom 2/25/26 Wednesday By Mariann Carroll Karen had been with Tony for 7 years. Tony started acting strangely after her surgery. He would mow the lawn in the rain and be on his cellphone. He started pushing Karen away. Tony came clean about seeing someone. Karen moved out two months later. Karen moved in with a friend. She felt betrayed.

Oh, I really love this!
Short but so powerful,this poem truly sparks a feeling within.
Well, here I am taking a page out of the Cindy Calder book and doing a deep dive on a Vocal writer. What better author to be my first deeper dive? This is a strong haiku. "Whisper soft upon the skin" is beautiful and tactile. I felt it. Not as strong as goose bumps, but exactly the way you wrote it - it's like a ghost of a feeling. Lovely and very well done!
A beautiful haiku, Cindy! Definitely would place if I were the judge.
This evokes both the candles light and heat, Cindy! Good luck on the challenge!
Soft and glowing in the quietest way. It feels like a secret moment captured without trying too hard. Really lovely! 💖
Soft, gentle like a caress.
This felt so reassuring. Loved your Haiku!
