Whispers of the Falling
my entry for the "Falling Leaves" challenge #1
amber leaves whisper,
caught between earth and grey sky—
as summer dissolves.

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?

Excellent haiku ♦️♦️♦️♦️
Wow! Nice flow and great imagery!!!
I love the sense of quiet, stillness conveyed by this! made me gasp and smile! another great entry!
I also like the summer dissolving, but I love the imagery that is evoked by "amber." Amber traffic lights demand slowing before a stop. Ancient insects are often found frozen in time, encased in amber. To me, autumn has always meant nature slowing down before the long pause of winter.
Powerful imagery and nicely done
Ooh "summer dissolves" that's an awesome line!
Oh wow, as summer dissolves, I especially loved that!

So peaceful ❤️
