A drop of black ink
trailing a line north to south
down the barren page

Nice. If you change "north-south" to "north to south" you would have the 7 syllables needed for a Haiku. Not necessary of course---just saying---

Thanks, Indar. Originally had another word in that line and forgot to adjust the rest after the removal to make 7. Thanks for pointing it out!

Love this -- I don't understand haiku, though I was once certain that I did. This poem has such a light yet deft touch I am now certain that I do not. Wonderful work. It makes one want to ponder.
