cricket meditates
considers silence of loss
broken by dry leaves
September 11th brings to me a need to write something about the loss of that day in 2001,
but each year I find myself at a loss for words. All I have for today is this haiku.
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #101 Photoshopping Haiku “Cricket Silence”
asks us to revise the following haiku:
cricket silence
between scraping sounds
autumn begins
