I tried to sum the first poem in three words, Kate : birth, healing, happiness .
This is a kind of “fauquet shape” haiku:
Birth,
Healing.
Happiness !
1,2,3 syllabs 🙂
Love ❤

Birth, for what it’s worth
Opens doors
For deaths and last breaths
Hi! Have I been missed?
Or you so utterly pissed
That you heard no word?
