when I change guitar strings I don't cut the part that is left over, like civilized people do, but I leave it and use it sometimes to make noises or to stop some strings from playing. In this case I "played" only these pieces of string, without touching the guitar

I was moved when I read this weeks Haiku from Naviars own Marco Sebastiano Alessi.
There was an idea in my head almost straight away, a repeating piano set to a echo delay effect that could potentially never end. Anf then the feeling of an empty house, an old distorted 78rpm record playing as if from a distance (of time?) and the feeling of a place of memory but now all gone.

-----------

Endless echo
footsteps on an empty house
once full of life

Third poem written by me that gets featured in the haiku challenge. As always, I hope you’ll find it inspiring.

Soliloquio Pugliese - naviarhaiku516

This track uses the latest - https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-dark-naviarhaiku518 - Naviar Haiku submission as a starting point for some bluetooth mangling ... All sounds you hear are derived from a recording of the remote headphone connection breaking up whilst playing the haiku original. You can see the 'recording setup' in the middle of the accompanying image.

You're so amusing...Oooo
I let you in...
I might've been a bit more cautious
disabused me in that process
but I was so bad at listening
yea
I should grow my ears...to better hear
the caution in the wind
and I should grow my eyes...to better see
the roots you hide from me
and if I grow my lips...to taste
the drip of paste and honey
the remnants of the glue
that held your wings...and
you're so lovely
I could extend a hand...that grows
to catch your fall
a hero scorched 'neath a burning sun
a stone that plummets neatly
...ruined your pretty wings completely
yea
I should grow my ears...to better hear
the caution in the wind
and I shall grow my lips...to taste
the drip of paste and honey
...coming off your wings

Grow My Ears
