badger11 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Compact Judi. Like it. Our routine intrusions on nature...including the noise pollution! Bw Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I also like it, Judi, spare and nuanced. Except line 4. What if you struck it or changed to something more sonically evocative (something suggestive of echoing among the pine trunks?)? Perhaps moved line 5 to line 1? Even line 6 may be superfluous to this haiku-esque flash. Just a Thought, - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Hi David, I'm finally getting around to this. I am chasing a form here so eliminating a line or moving lines is tricky. But I thought about your suggestions and played with sound an imagery.
