Hieroglyph Telling (haiku)

by Gabrielle L Gervais

The grip of your hands
tell of old stones and long rolls.
Fall down unheld hills.

Author's Note: My first haiku ever- inspired by those of David Spellman!

I really like this. I can feel the falling, see the scene. I'd just want an "s" on tell, since grip is the subject of that verb, and I'm not sure if you want fall or falls (if it's the same subject, falls) beautiful

You have painted a scene rather with your words. Distinct and alive. Beautiful creative minimal.

Hieroglyphs and petroglyphs tell so many tales... as does this fine piece. I'm honored by the mention of inspiration!!! Keep on writing... [;0)~
