Analysis of Widow
Death gave no warning.
His breath stolen in the night,
Her scar-clothed soul survives.

About this poem
I wrote this Haiku because I went through a very traumatic experience and writing has been very therapeutic for me. My hope is that it will touch someone else who has been through a difficult time. The message is that there is hope for survival after experiencing trauma.
