Hush little baby;
Let silence now be heard–
Crying is absurd!

I'm just a poor poet, writing the world as I know it: ultraviolet and lead.
Join me on this path of whimsy?

very nice, very effective!

Thanks! Hey, I tried to go to your blog, but the link didn’t work for some reason. Can you post it as a comment?
Nov 11, 2012 @ 07:08:31
Ha – had to laugh – wish I could have read this to my kids when they were babies!
Nov 11, 2012 @ 15:40:22
Haha, that would be wonderful! I wonder if there are any scientific studies on the effects of reading haiku to babies as part of their developmental process. I think it might make an interesting study 🙂

Sure: Please also review my blog, especially poetry part of it.

Lovely I love silence as a lullaby.
Nov 11, 2012 @ 15:58:08
Yes–it can be incredibly soothing, can’t it? 🙂
Nov 11, 2012 @ 23:10:10
PERFECT!!!!
Nov 12, 2012 @ 01:16:29
Thanks so much! I had fun with this one 🙂
Nov 12, 2012 @ 11:30:55
Oh what a delightful and wonderful haiku
Nov 13, 2012 @ 00:05:21
Thank you! I enjoyed your haiku (and subsequent silence-inspired poem) as well. Never a wrong time for such a reminder 🙂

But isn’t crying healing?

Some tears heal, and some just rub salt in the wounds (aggravate) 🙂
Nov 15, 2012 @ 10:20:38
made me smile…thinking of my days as a young mother, with sometimes those exact thoughts reverberating in my head 🙂
Nov 17, 2012 @ 01:05:46
Haha, definitely. Sometimes babies cry for an unknown reason that defies explanation. That is the most frustrating, because there’s no remedy. 🙂
