louder than drum beats

your harsh words repeat in my head

leaving me hollow

 

 

leaving me hollow

like a drum

your good-bye poem

 

 

I'm so glad to see Tinker again. I've learned a lot from her polishing my Haiku translation. If I happen to have made some progress in writing haiku, you know whose help I've got from. icon_biggrin.png

 

Tony, the line "your good-bye poem" really hurts. icon_sad.gif

 

your good-bye poem

is poison. the world won't be

the same again.

Thank you Lake icon_smile.gif And a most appropriate response you've posted! It is quite unnerving!

smell of orange blossoms
