It’s called Pacific
but unleashes its wrath by
keeping us apart.

The story is that I am in Australia right now, visiting my husband’s family (We were last here 8 years ago). So therein, I found inspiration in the Pacific as something that tears families apart, a physical barrier to overcome, rather than something peaceful.

Welcome to Australia - nice to have you on my side of the world…

Love the haiku - it says so much in so little words. That’s why I love haiku.
