My mole, shared with three
generations of women,
I hope to pass on.

A Love [Haiku] to My Body
If you regularly visit my blog you know that body is something I often write about, thanks to a course I took in grad school: 'Feminist Theory - Writing the Body.' Yesterday Rachel Held Evans shared 'A Love Letter to my Body [in Haiku]', her contribution to the SheLoves synchroblog, A Love Letter to My Body. For my contribution I've written a haiku about the mole above my upper left lip that I share with my maternal great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother. I've written a poem about it before, but I composed this haiku just for this occasion. I hope you'll join in the love!

Thank you for sharing Jade. I love that you and Rachel both shared a haiku. The simplicity is beautiful.
