Self-Conciousness

Self-Consciousness


White noise surrounds us each day.  We do not even hear it over the din of living.  Life is noisy, a constant barrage of sounds from all different directions, in all different pitch.  A phone, music, loud heated discussions.  The very moment I get an answer wrong, one can hear a pin drop.


“A pin can be heard”---
Dropping tinny to the floor
Why is it so quiet?
          

                                                               Sunshine Williams

We are unaware of so much, it can be scarey - and then the pin drops, and a stranger shouts 'Boo' ! A meditative piece of writing, superbly executed.

I like how you lead this piece to the haiku. Though you I reckon you've got the wrong here, I think you mean hear. Thanks for entering my contest, and keep enjoying the haibun.

Excellent one Jill. You have tried your best to bring before the world the sound of a sweet little pin. But in this world where drums are beaten without a break everywhere how the music and sound of a pin can be heard?
