All I really want to say is AMEN!!!! but I won't get credit for a review, so I must write something else. Thank you for sharing this. I am NOT a poet, write prose, but enjoy reading poetry. I am not versed on Haibun but from what I understand, you nailed it.

This is my first Haibun. I read an entry into a contest on here and fell in love. I had to write one. Thank you!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from harmony13
The author poem is heartfelt. I found these words to clear, descriptive
and creative. I found myself pondering on these words and thinking
of the tragic building collapse here in Florida. Thank you for the author's
notes - they speak volumes! The artwork is great and compliments this poem. Hope you are doing well....Maria

You've penned a powerful message, Papa55Mike, one we should all take to heart.
Having a friend to share your burden is the most wonderful thing. So many are busy with their own problems, never realizing to share it makes it less terrible.
Share a joy, it doubles.
Share a sorrow, it's halved.

Your Haibun ia poem and story of compassion. When there are those so much worse off than we are, it is our duty to give of our time and effort to lift some of the heavy load and to bear it for them.

Comment from MissMerri
This is a most appealing story and told delightfully. I don't believe I've ever posted a haibun, though I've tried writing a few. I always thought the poem part was a shorter poem, but honestly don't know the rules for this. I simply know I enjoyed your two poems and your story and they do go quite well together.
