A Minute Silent

a minute silent . . .
the cackling of a child
in the hall


the cow feeds 
on grass sprout . . .
goats bleat

I see this was a winner....there is much to be said about someone who truly masters this form, Joseph. It takes much patience...like creating a bonsai. Congrats to you. Thanks for taking time from your life to sit and read my poetry. It means a lot. All the best, Gwendolen.

Yes, you certainly did use sensory perception in a cool way here, Joey. The haiku form is leaving me more and more mystefied, but I think are giving Charles exactly what is required for his contest. Well done! Love, Carolyn
