HuMp DaY Haiku - Memories

It's five years today

Remembering her smile

Wanting one more hug

Remembering my beautiful daughter today...

And debating whether I'll continue Hump Day Haiku. While this may be the last Hump Day Haiku post,  it certainly won't be my last haiku. We'll see how it feels next week.  :)

I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art. 

Would you like to share a haiku you have written?  

You may include a haiku in the comments, OR you may copy your blog post url (featuring a haiku) and add a link to your blog using Mr. Linky. Consider visiting other contributors blogs to see what they've created and say hello. 

Remembering Jen

Never hesitating to try something new, 

you left before we were ready. 

Alive in our memories,

you are always in our hearts.  

I'll always remember.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl. 

Dia De Los Muertos - I will never forget

Jen's Fairy 

In memory of my beautiful daughter.

A few months after my daughters sudden death, a group of friends decided to make angels for one of our members whose husband was going through an illness. 

When I finally started to create the angel, this fairy emerged instead. 

And she told me she was in honor of  my daughter. 

It hangs on the wall of my office where I can see it as I sit at my desk. 

It has become my daily reminder of the love my daughter had for all things of nature, and of the love I will always have for my daughter. 

I will never forget.

Hump Day Haiku - Lavendar

Lovely lavender.

The memory of my daughter

continues to bloom.

This lavender plant was bought at the Cascade Cuts plant sale last spring, because it was named Jennifer. My daughter name. We lost her three and a half years ago. It was so lovely with pale leaves, that I had to have it. The blooms, when they arrived, were more blue than lavender on long sweeping stems.

We planted it in a pot on the deck and it's been blooming for months, and continues.

I have not been able to get a good picture of this plant, so this inferior photo will have to do. 

Submitting to Haiku My Heart Friday.

I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes... and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue. And so I have.

Happy Birthday, Jen
