Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

Oooo, that last line, I especially loved that!
Very Nice haiku!
I liked your haiku.
Another profound haiku!
The word in silence...great phrase. And the image so captured it!
What Shirley said and I just love your short-form musings. Love distilling such core thoughts to the fewest words possible! Well done, sir!
Amazing that we are all so alike yet distinctly different.
