The Silence

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.

Wow! Thank you so much.

I cannot imagine it being perfect, but I thank you for such kind words.

Have a wonderful day!

The lines of the poem are very powerful Brenda and I think you achieved the perfect Haiku.
