Susan, I like your linking of the rambling tinkling of wind chimes to the odds of repetition. Something to ponder. Works well as a monoku.
Take care.

Thanks a lot, Dan, for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed this monoku!
This one-liner is sufficiently open to invite the reader to interpret it in several ways. It suggested a narrative to me—I imagined someone had just walked out of a house following an argument, slamming the door and unsettling the wind chimes. Is this a one-off or the beginning of a pattern?
Thank you for sharing this, Susan.

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on this monoku, Marion. Your interpretation is interesting and welcome, though somewhat different that the actual story behind it. That's fine with me!
