Scurry [Haiku]

shore birds scurry,
evading rolling surf,
like playful kids.

“On this wondrous sea” (4) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar --
Where the storm is o'er?

In the peaceful west
Many the sails at rest --
The anchors fast --
Thither I pilot thee --
Land Ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!

PROMPT: Camping

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever been camping?

Many a time, and I hope to do more. I highly recommend the experience. Nothing like sleeping close to the Earth to realize that there exists no patch of ground on the planet as flat and rock-free as one’s mattress.

Stand Strong [Haiku]

overflown banks:
trees stand strong
against the flow.

Spring Snow [Haiku]

late Spring:
a dust of snow remains
on green mountains.
