the field keeps their names,
every leaf a syllable
spoken into earth

Rebecca A Hyde Gonzales
I love to write. I have a deep love for words and language; a budding philologist (a late bloomer according to my father). I have been fascinated with the construction of sentences and how meaning is derived from the order of words.

Belated congratulations on the win. Easy to see why this poem was a winner. One of the reasons to love haiku is that I don't need to say "I loved this line...or that line." I love every line, every word of this haiku. "Spoken into earth" closes with such power. Really nice work.
