The juxtaposition of line 1 and lines 2 & 3 combine into a very strong and moving haiku...
wow that was really touching! your haikus are truly amazing!
Oh! This is poignant, Bill...it gave a chill, until I read the third line,
wishes,
devika
well caught Bill

Thanks, Frank, k8, Devika, and John. I guess there was just nobody who cared enough. For me, a poignant reminder of human isolation.
I have been touched, very much, by this haiku, Bill. Thank you.
yes, Bill...i understand what you say...It takes a lot of love, and courage to show that one cares...Not like singing a love song -- But one does have to doubt if the saved will turn the killer...Not of the body, the spirit --- and it can be more ruinous! have been through many times...Don't care so much, though
anyway, when serious haiku is presented, it calls for a serious read....We all are becoming kind of isolation wards in ourselves -- And we can't blame the world for that,
wishes,
devika
very serious on Bill
much love

__Questions left, and imagination etched the stone.
__Good one Bill. _m
Monika, Devika, Gillena, and Doug, most appreciated.
Everytime I see old grave stones with a lot of empty space there is a name not placed properly. Someone is waiting for someone ... Great haiku.
Best wishes
Ralf
as some not-yet-ready haiku:
L3 missing...
,-)
But these lines are good... Touching.
A concluded haiku --
nothing left
but to read it
again and again
