Morning calm
the song that hovers
out of sight
The poem of the week is a beautiful haiku by Peggy Willis Lyles.
“Sometimes we say too much. Words get in the way… . A good haiku offers just enough words, just the right words, to recreate the essence of a specific time and place and hold it permanently available.” (Peggy Willis Lyles)
