your saved voice — three years,still saying you'll call me back.i let it stay full
About the haikuA very short poem, often three lines, that holds one small observed moment.
Haiku is a Japanese form counted in sounds, usually seventeen, in groups of five, seven and five. English poets often borrow that shape with syllables, or loosen it. Many haiku set two images side by side and let the gap between them speak.
The shape Seventeen sounds in a pattern of five, seven and five; English versions often keep the count loose.
Listen for Two small images, and the quiet space between them.
