guitar strings
missing in the street,
broken note
~0~0
piano keys
untuned, grating nails,
empty room
~0~0
child's laughter,
concert melody,
sounds of joy

ReplyDeleteThank you..though it was not all melodious notes ~ tough day at the office affecting my words ~
DeleteYes, sounds of children's happy giggles and laughter is its own music, isn't it :)
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed ~ Thanks Bren ~
Deletesmiles...love the music of laughter...and even with a broke string i know a few that can make that guitar dance...smiles.
ReplyDeleteKids can make it fun no matter how dreadful the tune, their laughter is its own music
ReplyDeleteI could feel lots of movements and laughter in your haiku. Kids compounded the joy. Great take, Grace!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful...! Melodious Haiku... :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, image stood in front of my eyes!
ReplyDeletemelodious payoff.
ReplyDeleteReally nice!:)
ReplyDeleteEven one broken note is better than no note at all. When the melody stops, God weeps.
ReplyDeleteCloud Singer, Come
I hope the writing of the first two excellent haiku lightened a tough day. Certainly seems so as the third is music itself.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set....and the last one is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I knew an elderly couple that moved from a quite two story home to a single story home across the street from an elementary school playground. In the warmer weather they would open the windows to fill the house with the sound of children. They said it helped keep them young and alive.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the childs laughter does it for me!!
ReplyDeleteA child's laughter is the sweetest melody.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ..last one..love it..

Beautiful, Grace, especially the last. I have to admit that the second set my teeth on edge a bit, though... :-)
