One Deep Breath - Solitude.
This week's prompt from One Deep Breath is apt, given that in the past two weeks, I've been spending a lot of time alone - cocooning. I am lucky in being comfortable in my own company (and strictly speaking, since Trixie is with me, I am seldom, indeed, truly alone). Normally, I share only one Haiku, but today, three have emerged, so forgive my indulgence in offering them all to you:
Now I am alone
no-one else drinks from my cup.
My tea has gone cold.
......This is my own space
......my rooms, my floors, my own walls,
......my own voice speaking
She sits here with my,
my silent shadow-sister.
Her hand touches mine.
There will be more Haiku on the theme HERE

these give me chills...like a damp October morning on the Doolin pier...my favorite is the first :-)
I like the second one best--you're really claiming your life as an independent woman.
These are just gorgeous! I particularly like the second one, attesting to your strength in aloneness.
Really nice work ... both writing and doing!!
It's interesting how we're each drawn to a certain one - though they each have their own particular beauty, the last one resonates particularly with me.
Thank you.
Lovey work - my favourite is the third.
They were all lovely :) Glad you're enjoying YOUR time.
I like very much the idea of a "shadow-sister." Very cool.
My favorite is number three - I love the idea of a shadow sister (could yours be Trixie?)
beautiful poems - my favorite is the second one.
I like the one about the tea best, but love them all. What a wonderful genre haiku is.
these are wonderful :)
I like each of these. There's a sadness to them, but also a strength and determination.
..."shadow-sister"... I love that! Stunning poem.
I love them all - perfect in every way and although all three sing to me, I have to go with the second verse, this eloquent reclaiming of your space and power.
These are all lovely
i really love these. especiallly the last one.
Wow that is just lovely - thanks so much for baring your soul like that - very brave, very touching.
"my silent shadow-sister"... mine sits here touching me, too.
