As Karin rightly says it is a deep & meaningful Haiku ! By looking at your photo I get the feeling - you bake lovely cakes & also play the piano well ! Am I right ? -Raj

Short, but very loaded, Dorothy!! Again a jewel!! Only YOU can write this Senryu about WORDS..."Seeking to be heard",,,how sad..

You have successfully created quite a few images in so few words with this one: words seeking/heart seeking to be heard and heartbeat/ measures evoke singing/a song. A woeful song at that. This must have been rather painful. Speaking words is not usually done until after the tears have flowed
