I can see poetry is a wonderful means of expression for you.
I am a Haiku girl myself ( not very good either )

When my brother recently passed, I wrote this for him. He always told me to do more than Haiku and so I did!

This was after several months of painful grieving -- I was feeling somewhat eased

Grief has loosened its grip
It no longer swamps 

It no longer chokes 

It no longer carves salt channels into my face

Instead it creeps and holds me fast -- but gently
under the waves
It allows me to breathe through a narrow crevice 

It gently sands and refines its path downward ....

Is this progress?

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
