Endurance

Bronze lasts for eons
But temples age and crumble -
Long ago bell sounds

  3. I think of human existence when I read this Bruce. Our soul the bronze, our body the temple, and the sounds, our remaining legacy. A beautiful haiku.

  6. "Long ago bell sounds" Before and after meditation I always love the sound of the bell. You picture and words bring that back to me. Lovely Haiku.

  9. I love this one very much. It brings memories to me of long ago. Our church, in the middle of the city had church bells but they were removed when fellow citizens began to grumble because of the loud sound.
    Nicely done.
