Still.
For Carolina Borges' "The 500 Reads Haiku Challenge✨"
The phone was always
quiet. But the line remains
soft, and still for you.
This poem is in response to Carolina Borges' "The 500 Reads Haiku Challenge✨"

Congratulations on winning the haiku challenge!🥳🤩✅👍🏼 Well deserved!💖
This one truly stopped me. It’s so quiet, so restrained—and yet it says so much. That final line carries a weight I can’t shake. I’m going through all the entries right now, and this one is something special. Thank you for writing it.
Gorgeous work Cathy! 🌸
