Bill said...: Thanks, Vaughn. A striking moment.

Do you like silent movies, polona?

Thanks, aurora. I've been experimenting with punctuation lately.; 7:53 PM

we know that fireworks are noisy,
but when you say it's silence, we must obey!; 8:16 AM

Bill said...: At a sufficient distance, tikkis, they can't be heard; but the association with sound carries over the silence.

Me too, polona.; 7:24 PM
Masago said...: ...and I like playing silent movie piano music. A few years back I found some folios for this from 1914 on eBay!

I really love Tikkis's take on obedience when reading haiku. That cracks me up! :-); 7:08 AM
