Conversation died
the day her whispers vanished
to the moon above

    I feel a sense of closure in this. Like writing it may have been your way of releasing some sadness into the unknown in exchange for peace.

    Death is a very hard thing, but in the remembrance of people their spirit lives on through a warm silence. And I feel like you captured that with this beautiful piece.

    What a simple yet powerful senryu!
    I absolutely love the dimensions of the words and what they stand for. It's unbelievable how sometimes we speak to the moon when there's no one else around and we find peace in it. We never realise it is just a moon not a soul, and therefore once we die all the conversations die with us.. maybe that's the interesting part of all this,the fact that the talks will remain forever secret. awesome! 5/5

    Oh! this is so beautifully crafted but a sad feeling it releases. I like the imagery you created here, i could see every description you layed out. It seems you speak of a dead one, death precisely. Its always such a dark and sad feeling to loose someone. It leaves one with the pangs of uncertainty, despair and need. Death is never a welcomed guest but an unannounced visitor we all abhor but can't avoid. Nevertheless, with all the sadness involved one moves on like never before. Its just so amazing how that is possible. Glory and praises be to God, as its his doing to live with pain and happiness side by side.

    My penchance is penning nature poems but i always give you a *standing ovation*, coupled with humbling respects when it comes to your dexterity in composing nature poetry. Learned from you and still learning. You're an inspiration deeply rooted. I really loved this exquisite piece, lovely sad message it conveys. Much love. :-) *smiles*. ;-) ...

    I love your senryu's, they always hold so much in them, I think this one is lovely...it's sad as well as beautiful though...like to say that when someone dies the conversation does to, but I believe that we still communicate with the passed in other ways...
    but really lovely piece, really gentle and warm too
