Silence in the room
loneliness surrounds my soul
writing comforts me.

Ann,
Thank you so much!
I do enjoy writing these. I like how so few words can make a statement.
Thanks for reading.

Good haiku, Brenda. I find this form of poetry suits itself well to creating instant atmosphere and you've certainly done that.
