Funeral Flowers

traditional haiku

his last moments home -
the widow breaks a glass bowl
with forget-me-nots

Author's Note

at some funerals there it is customary to break a glass or a pottery object right before the coffin is taken out

Another fact I didn't know. Lovely haiku.

Many thanks. If this one were not traditional, the word "glass" would have been unnecessary here.
