{50. HaikuSentence: Persistent Silence}

 {09042020}               

There was a mild thunderstorm. At sundown. As a result, the patterns of the village insects were thrown off cycle. A steady silence permeated the houses and sidestreets. A lack of motion.

(2)          tonight
(4)          for the first time (night)
(2/3)      no drones / droning

(4)          from cicadas

 

(4)          yet, (so) since August

(3)          yet, tonight
(7)          for the first night since August

(3)          no dronings

(4)          from cicadas

 

(4)          broken dronings

(4)          ceaseless dronings
(5)          haphazard dronings

(5)          chaotic dronings

 

(4)          drone of dronings

(4)          dronings droning

 

(16)        For the first night since August, no dronings from cicadas.

(16)        —yet, for the first time since August, no nightly drone from cicadas.

 

 

 

875.       —and yet, for the first time since August, no nightly drone from cicadas.
