Mom's Gone

Burnt toast
permeates my teddy bear.
The divorce is final.

    What a sad senryu, Bridget. There are children who will find comfort in this poem.

      Thanks, Laura. For some reason the smell of burnt toast made me think of divorce.

    You really pack a punch in these three lines.

      Thanks, Liz. I think a teddy bear smelling of burnt would pack a punch to a child in this situation. :(
