a fork in the road ...
I stand still
to hear the leaves
I stand still
to hear the leaves
Revision, Honorable Mention, the Winter Moon Awards for Haiku 2010
Judge's Comment: I could make this symbolic: what do the trees tell me, which direction should I take; but I choose to imagine myself standing at the fork, closing my eyes, just listening to the sound of leaves before I move on. I like that the poem is larger than itself.
