These haiku verses, by Jennifer, express grief, storms, remembrance, and connection, reflecting fleeting emotions.
Grief crashes in at Least-expected times Uninvited guest *** Thunder rolls in The not-too-distant sky and I open my windows *** Conjuring my mom One sip of Constant Comment She is in the room *** Cross country skiing By the light of the full moon Over the fence with Dad
