A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Losing the scent in the pillowcase — really hit me in the gut. Powerful memories … powerful emotions ….

That was actually only a year ago…probably the only one that I loved his scent…ah, my shining black knight:)

He sounds *much* more interesting than those knights in shining white armor.
I am very sorry — yes, it’s been a year — but still, I am sorry.

The first haiku so well-composed. Really art, and the second grows on one as a reader – very feminine haiku, well-written, and shows me how scents are so important for a woman. I noticed that before – endearing.

I like the first one best too. I write like a crazed person at my break at work…but the second is unpolished but was so important for me to share that moment; what do you think of:
weeping,
lost scents of
a pillow case
