suddenly the cicadas
stop

 

 

 

 

Author’s note: The photo was taken (and the haiku was composed) in a bombed out hotel complex on the Croatian coast last year.

    How often I've had that feeling at reading war haiku…the depths would silence even the cicadas…there are no words. Thanks for this one.

    I thought the haiku was poignant in itself, but the photo adds another level of depth. Most excellent haiga.
