Haibun Hero
Stolen from the interwebs: "Haibun is a poetry form that combines a haiku with a prose poem. If a haiku is an insight into a moment of experience, a haibun is the story or narrative of how one came to have that experience." Write as many as you like. Don't stress about perfection. Tag me!

Our Missing Branch
Family trees may bear much fruit, yet some branches never get to grow. Occasionally we must face the mortality of youth, and the loss scars the bark and molds the tree. We cherish every leaf and find fresh blooms are still as sweet, though watered now and forever with our tears.
empty heart still beats
bare branches cry out in vain
silent teardrops fall
