Dear fellow poet, Thank you for posting this beautiful tribute to your Mother on behalf of all of us who remember our Mothers with affection and gratitude.
I only wish this genre allowed you to write many verses about your special relationship and memories. Such permission would so enrich this poem, that can only hint at something very special.

    Dear pharp, can I ask if your name is Pam or Penny or something outrageous like Penelope?
reply by the author on 19-Jan-2020
    Hi Suzanna,
    You have a beautiful name, I am glad mom didn't name me Penelope...my name is Portia
reply by Suzanna Ray on 19-Jan-2020
    Dear Portia, is you name pronounced with 3 syllables?
reply by the author on 19-Jan-2020
    It is pronounced with 2 syllables
    por-sha
    actually some will spell their name "Porsha" or like the car "Porsche"

    Portia, Like in Shakespeare !
reply by the author on 19-Jan-2020
    Correct, Brutus' wife in Shakespeare.

    I asked my mom where and how did she come up with my name. She told me, she would listen to a soap opera on the radio called "Portia Faces Life" this is how I can to be named Portia

    Glad you are acquainted with the man.

Your poem fulfills the syllable requirement of the haiku and the contest. It's also a touching, poignant message to a mother lost. Good luck to you in the contest.
