I’m too late for linking but I was intrigued by the d’Verse Poets prompt on an “American Sentence” a poem in 17 syllables. American haiku were invented by Allen Ginsberg, an American poet and one of the leading figures of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. The challenge is to use two images and put them in juxtaposition in order to create a sort of tension. To me, this is similar to a mindful moment or small stone.
Last days dwindling ~ tethered to oxygen ~ planting daylilies for spring

So lovely – and the oxygen image does well as a sort of “hinge” for the poem. Blessings to you and your family, especially your mom.
