"missing the Sound"

A black bird sings free
                            to a crowd that doesn't here,
                                                              and now fly's away...

We often take thing for granted. A simple but meaningful write.

Michael, I will tell you a little story about a black bird. It sang and moved up to freely in this world. The crowd could not hear the true meaning of her song. Blinded by deaf where they stood. The next thing you know the bird had 2 fly away when she was exposed. One good things about poetry is when the reader can use their own imagination and think opposite of the poet. I am sure the beauty of your haiku has nothing to do with my bird. Enjoyed my view and image as well. luv,..p.d.
