That's extremely powerful to use something as simple as a collection of sheets as a symbol for the lives that were once wrapped up in them. Very thought-provoking indeed... 🏯😎🏯
Ahh, that is so true! The heart says so much more than words ever can. And when two hearts are communicating in perfect harmony with each other, it's absolutely magical... 🏯😎🏯
You're very welcome! It's always very special to hear those echoes of those we've lost, whenever they occur, and to have those brief moments where it feels like they're here again... 🏯😎🏯
These attacks are always sickening and senseless, but to involve a place of worship, and children, is particularly abhorrent. What a terrible tragedy... 🏯😎🏯
That's a difficult situation, for sure, when people are still together, but have drifted apart. This captures the essence of that heartache really well... 🏯😎🏯
Ahh, those pesky Trolls! It must be incredibly tricky to live under bridges these days, too, with the water levels constantly fluctuating due to climate change! 🏯😎🏯
I listen closely to
But the soft cry fades away-
Only an echo.
Very nice! It's always difficult to be left with just an echo, for sure, when the chance to make a difference has passed... 🏯😎🏯
Oops, get rid of the word “to”- appeared from nowhere in my haiku 🫤🤨😊
Ahh, it's the echo of a gremlin in the system! Haha... 🏯😎🏯
I thought about trying to make a haiku out of my disclaimer of the gremlin 🤣
Thirty thousand sheets,
power folds into itself—
echo hides the names.

Thank you so much. It was in my mind when your call arrived. I am still pondering about my note, maybe the haiku will suffice.
🏯😎👍🏯
Nice! Don't see a political haiku every day. I love how you did that.
Thank you Susan, today it felt fitting to the occasion. There is a lot of echo in there….
That’s for sure. The line about sheets folding because of power was subtle and very powerful. Excellent.
I left my heart etched
In a memory canyon
An echo returned.
Ahh, that's wonderful! Those echoes of past loves never leave us, and they can often be very comforting, for sure... 🏯😎🏯
I echo your words
but I long instead to hear
the beat of your heart
Ahh, that is so true! The heart says so much more than words ever can. And when two hearts are communicating in perfect harmony with each other, it's absolutely magical... 🏯😎🏯
A cave of echoes
Lost voices of loved dear ones
I visit there some
Thank you , Chris !

This tragedy is on my mind.

Stained glass shards rain down
Gunshots echo through the church
Tiny lives snuffed out
These attacks are always sickening and senseless, but to involve a place of worship, and children, is particularly abhorrent. What a terrible tragedy... 🏯😎🏯
Yes! It is NOT normal! It is abhorrent!
Doubt, worry, despair,
Or faith, love and compassion -
What do you echo?
What a beautiful and important message! We definitely need more faith, love and compassion in the world these days... 🏯😎🏯
Pray we all echo these...
🏯😎👍🏯

Men bearded women scowling
They echo echo
Ahh yes, Art can often reveal many echoes of history. Thanks for joining in... 🏯😎🏯
She loves him dearly
But he cannot hear her call
Now, just an echo
That's a difficult situation, for sure, when people are still together, but have drifted apart. This captures the essence of that heartache really well... 🏯😎🏯
Hint: think Echo and Narcissus.
Ahh, of course! That's an excellent reference. And a very clever interpretation of the Prompt... 🏯😎🏯
Paddle the wee boat
Echo carries our curses
The troll shall hear us
Ahh, those pesky Trolls! It must be incredibly tricky to live under bridges these days, too, with the water levels constantly fluctuating due to climate change! 🏯😎🏯
Or might just be that said climate change is a troll conspiracy theory, to make people go under bridges so they become troll food!
We've been 'Trolled'! Haha... 🏯😎🏯
Rolling, rolling, rolling :D
🏯😎👍🏯
Separated by
realm and time, yet your presence
still echoes inside
Absolutely! Those kind of echoes are a very powerful thing, when we feel them. And a very comforting thing, too... 🏯😎🏯
Folded paper cranes
Echoing snowy repose
Unmelting white snow
I'm hoping we see some snow here this year. It'd be a nice change after the baking hot Summer we've had! Haha... 🏯😎🏯
Its been toasty here in AZ but it's starting to change. Halloween is coming! 👻🎃👻
Yes, Halloween is almost here, and then shortly after that, it'll be Christmas! They seem to come around quicker every year... 🏯😎🏯
Here is my Haiku:

Ahh, that's a fun one! Sitting by the bay, browsing eBay. What an ideal, and idyllic, way to shop. Haha... 🏯😎🏯
Thank you for the shout out, Chris!
You're very welcome! Have a great weekend... 😎
kids reunited
laughter their energy source
bouncing off the walls
Ahh yes, the echo of laughter is such a wonderful sound! 🏯😎🏯
