It’s been a year since my mother passed away.
At that time, I wrote a haiku in her memory.
Stisk njene roke
Umrla bom, je rekla
Slovo za vedno
The squeeze of her hand
I will die, she said to me
Goodbye forever
A haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of three unrhymed lines with a 5, 7, 5 syllable structure. Focused on nature, seasons (kigo), and capturing a specific, fleeting moment, it emphasizes simplicity and intensity. While originating in Japan, it is now popular worldwide in various languages.
