Jill Spagnola Poet Haibun

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

Ravindra K Kapoor August 2, 2015 at 10:52 PM 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?
