Shades of Green [Haiku]

sunlit garden
to distant mountains —
every shade of green.

PROMPT: Beach or Mountains

Daily writing prompt
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

To me, that is much like asking whether I prefer a hammer or a Phillips head screwdriver. They are different tools for different purposes. Good luck if you love your ballpeen hammer so much that it’s the only tool for you but your problem of the moment is a deeply embedded wood screw.

Bald Mountain [Haiku]

Spring rains stalk up
behind a bald mountain;
a brown flood flows.

Cloud Avalanche [Haiku]

clouds fill the valley:
a gauzy avalanche
in slow motion.

Sun Tinged [Haiku]

mountain snow:
tinged orange
by sunrise.

Mountain Crumbles [Haiku]

once a mountain,
now just boulders; someday
not a hill will remain.

White on White [Haiku]

angular granite:
softened by snowfall,
erased by cloud.
