I have returned to this. It resonates with me. Such appropriate subject matter for the form. Thank you for sharing it.

A literate and intelligent haiku, Mairi, and I love the seemingly contradictory elements of "virgin" and "pregnant", but do you normally write poems with a calligraphy "brush"?

I do if I am presenting them as calligraphy which, were I writing them in Japanese, I might.
Thank you for the visit and the applause, Bill.

So simple. So truthful. Truely amazing, that one can turn three simple lines into something so amazing and full of truth. Great poem.

Thank you lkm - that's the wonder of a haiku, when it comes to you! So difficult to force, but bliss when it just occurs.

What a truthful poem you have written in these three lines of this haiku. Loved it - thought it a great interpretation of the theme prompt of the contest.

Thank you, eri... It was a moment's inspiration, as it should be with haiku. I am glad you liked it.

Mairi
We seem to be flying over each others contrails, only knowing that the other has been there. This haiku is loaded, as the calligraphic bush. Hope you do well with it.
Have a great week-end , Mairi.

What are friends for, if not to fly over each other's contrails?

Haiku is a wonderful way to write. So abstract that the meaning is clear. Yes, I know what you mean!

I am very glad. In haiku, the expression of the poet and the impression upon the reader should be unified and immediate.
