- Haiku X 347 - no longer sings -

                                      the crumbling stardust
                               caged nightingale does not sing -
                                      tomorrow's tombstones

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/14/2025 10:14:00 AM Anne-Lise, The crumbling stardust hints at something big going on. In a way, our environmental destruction places all us birds in tomb's cage. As go the birds, go we all. It's a haunting poem indeed, and hopefully it will motivate us to live in harmony with rather than exploit our surroundings! Login to Reply

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 2/10/2025 6:37:00 AM Dear Anne-Lise, this haiku is wonderful so much sorrow and truth blended into so few words. It lingers, heavy yet ethereal, like a silent echo of something lost. A masterpiece in its brevity. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Login to Reply
