Stephanie Waton: Haiku 1

I really love this little poem.
What I like the most is how the last word drops off. You know what sound is missing and it just so happens that this sound is the sound of the title — even though the meaning of the title is 100 percent the opposite of the last word.
I don’t even know if I’ve articulated this well. I just know that I love the full circle of sound that this haiku creates.
