Andrew Crisci Poet Haiku

Measuring One's Thoughts

With strong hands resting
on sharp rocks, I stare afar
intrigued by silence...

I seem disenchanted
by what reality conveys
through its mystery... 
 

Fear is a lament, 
a remote voice never heard;
a lark's joyless shrill...   
 

Written by Andrew Crisci
for Michael J. Falotico's 
contest, " Your Thoughts "

Gwendolen Song May 22, 2011 at 2:48 PM Hey Andrew. This was a different take on the photo in Michael's contest. Good goin. Neat imagery with strong hands resting on sharp rocks...bc that is exactly what I saw! He DID look intrigued by something and silence is a nice angle! Best to you, Gwendolen
