ELAINE KNIGHT: HAIKU

by contemplativeinquiry

Tick Tock sounds the clock

Marking the passage of Time

As does the silence.

It is a calendar month since Elaine came home from the Gloucester Royal hospital, after her hip fracture in Gran Canaria on 11 April (1). She is slowly recovering, but still housebound.

Two days before her accident I attended a meeting that signed off on a collection of poetry by local writers (2) to which we had both contributed. Elaine’s haiku below is part of that collection.
