the childless woman,
how tender she is
to the dolls!

The request is to write a “classical haiku”* based on the moving image of Ransetsu’s haiku:
*+ 5-7-5 syllables
+ a seasonword (kigo)
+ a cuttingword (kireji, in western mostly interpunction)
+ a moment as short as the sound of a pebble thrown in water
+ interchangable first and third line
+ a deeper meaning

I’ve found that often childless people have pets … and they treat them like beloved children .. probably more usual than we think 🙂

Oh for sure. My sister would refuse to put a few of your tiny yorkies in another room who would nip at my daughter (2yrs) ankles. She had to stay in the car, she was so scared. Come to think of it, maybe she just wanted me to go away…haha.

Oh dear … I’ve heard that yorkies can be pesky.

They are adorable but if not exposed to children probably are competing for the attention:) they are cute lady lapdogs

Cute they are … perhaps they get spoiled or are afraid and therefore aggressive of/with children …
