Highly Commended
first chemo—
on her head scarf
pink blossoms
Hifsa Ashraf
Judged and commented by Ron C Moss
This is another haiku that carries a very important message of hope and survival, which has been compassionately described by the poet. There’s a carefully crafted association between the headscarf, perhaps to cover the hair that has fallen after chemo, and the short life of a blossom, magnificent as it falls back to the earth. May we all shine so brightly in the light of our knowing.
