HAIKU MY HEART: Summer Serenade



Inspirations:

flute concert
speaking Japanese fluently
the shakuhachi
by Jane Reichhold

sultry night
the sound of the shakuhachi
deepens the silence
by Chevrefeuille

My Haiku:
warm memories of yore
crickets serenading us
delight of fireflies  

sharing with Rebecca's

Kristjaan's

Hoosier Quote:
“When people hear good music, 
it makes them homesick 
for something they never had and never will have.”
