on the street sign rests even
when she does not sing

Yes, I too was curious and wonder whether you saw the illustration and the poem wrote itself as you looked at it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for droppibg by Robin. It is not an Exphrastic. I wrote the haiku then searched for a image to supplement.

Those feet on the sign will linger in mind today. They feel more watchful than not and that seems like a good balance to a song. :)

We are all stunned into silence like that blackbird, though our feet hold us calmly. I like this immensely. It's stark and true.

I like the idea that a blackbird leaves footprints on a street sign, meaning she's present even when you can't hear her! There must be blackbird footprints all over our trees!

Fun to imagine when blackbird will flap his wings and fly away at a tilt up into the sky... leaving everything even, behind...
