Silent Focus

Leaf 210 – Looking Back

 



This poem attempts to evoke all the many late nights during the long winter months over the years which I spent studying in libraries …

 

 

Silent focus,

peering into a pool of light

– ink-black windowpanes.





This haiku was originally written and posted on Bluesky in response to a haiku written by Thomas L. Vaultonburg.
