Poem–Nothing is Everything

You may know the rhythm of a haiku poem is 5-7-5, which is 5 syllables, 7, then 5. Well, here is a double-haiku, if there is such a thing.

Nothing is Everything

Nowhere is a place
Nothing is everything
No one has a voice

Everywhere is here
Everything is special
Everyone hears you

    Double haiku sounds fair Mary, especially when used as you did, with one haiku contrasting with the other. Happy Wednesday. Allan

    On my profile on Facebook, it reads haikuist at the haiku factory.

    We fly over the

    Midwestern United States

    It isn’t nowhere
    ——
    And who knew that a
    Haiku factory exists
    In our heartland

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Well done, Mark.
