off pines
the churchyard’s stillness
drops with the dewdrops

Thanks, Chèvrefeuille. I was trying for one of those haiku which, on a first read, you probably don’t quite see the scene properly 🙂
Such a clear and calming image. Love it.
Walking through the churchyard it seemed perfectly still until you stopped and heard all the dewdrops falling softly 🙂
