I have written 2 haiku for Reena’s picture prompt. They can be read in continuity or as two distinct haiku.
Abusive childhood
wallflower disposition
behavior issues
Orphanage to home
contemplative reflection
family at last?
Haiku – Pensive Tides!

I read the two haiku as one. A sad story becomes a new and hopeful beginning. ❤ A very sensitive poem, Radhika!

Both Haikus are excellent, Radhika tells us what life children have when they are abandoned.
