Haiku: Silence Swells




nary a whisper
no farewell or by your leave
echoes of you fade

  3. "...and the dish ran away with the spoon."

    (Really beautiful second wife ran off with a chef)

    Echoes faded to slight vibrations then to whispered nothings!

    Patti, HOW do you come up with these perfect haikus?

  5. Echoes fading away ... nice imagery, but if the echoe is from a beloved one than it must not fade away. Than we have to cheriss them. And hold tight.

  16. I actually think you are very good at writing haiku, Patti. I am impressed because it is a very difficult poetic form. 'Echoes of you fade...' WOW. What a great line!
