Silent Echoes

I'm just an old fool

who cared enough to listen

to others that don't...

Crickets say it all

I have heard crickets will only chirp when the air reaches a certain temperature as for your listening to others who don't care I'm reminded of a song doctor my eyes, sorry so late to review a poem of yours but you are not alone:to stand corrected the amount of chirps made can give a rough estimate of the temp in Fahrenheit there's an actual formula who'd a think it but back to your poem it does remind me of James Taylor's thoughts

Hi Kent... thanks for pausing. I too have heard many real and imagined "Cricket Tales" - including the one where crickets are silent if people are moving nearby. We live to learn...

I still listen to James Taylor - do you as well?

Wise choice of words! See review below.

So many times we 'old fools' are content to just listen. A lot can be learned!

And sometimes, just listening, can save a life...

Amazed by this splendid senyru!!😊 Along with the great thought beside!

Oh my. Much to interpret here. Silent Echoes. When I hear this, there seems to be someone offering something though those offerings go unheard and/or overlooked each time. There's nothing foolish about decency. I believe we should all take the extra moment to listen to someone. Traipsing throughout life with untrained ears leads us to places unheard of. Very honest haiku. Great read, my friend.

Beautiful and short and sweet.

Simple yet profound. Beautiful!

I believe that the ones who cannot keep quiet for long do miss out on the fun! Listening to others in a quid pro quo is considered respectable. But listening to others when they aren't listening to you requires much patience and is a great skill which only few possess.
Short yet potent!
