I can relate to your words. I too, visit many loved ones at their resting places. Love your last line "where my lost are found". It is a comforting line to know we can visit our loved ones and they are not lost.

Not only an excellent 5-7-5, this poem would fill the more stringent requirements of a traditional haiku. Your last line is poignant and makes this poem stand out.
Best,
Chuck

The harshness of losing so many you love was softened by your beautiful poem. The cool breeze to me represented the feeling of loneliness. Yet they are right where you knew they would be. Great poem. Bittersweet and poignant. Gretchen

You did a great job, Jessica, with your 575 though it
was poignant. Your few syllables spoke of many things
that occurred which impacted you forever (also the notes).
The picture was perfect. Your words could be interpreted
two ways in my opinion. Of course, it is the resting place of
your departed loved ones. Also, it could be a reminder from
the POV of God that his lost are found there (hopefully, not
lost forever as He found them).
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Such touching and poignant sentiments summed up in a few short lines. It is sad that so many of our friends and family have been laid to rest in such places. However, they will ever be alive in our hearts.

I love the last line of this poem. It brings an element of intimacy and warmth to what would otherwise be the atmosphere of a cold cemetery. This is really nice.

This piece left me with a sadness in my heart. It makes me long for those that are no longer with us, and wish I could hug them one more time.

Excellent 5/7/5 for the contest. The theme is sad but true. Your poem has a zen feel to it very appropriate for haiku.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.
