driftwood – Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey

Tanka: A Tree’s Journey

waves leave
a voice from the forest
the path of a tree
oh what would it be like
to make this journey

Haibun: Before Spring

Big waves bring driftwood trees, the wind covers them with sand. Some branches and root balls reach for the sky, casting a filigree of shadows. Hovering on salty air, gulls survey a new landscape.

melting snow
earth re-arranges herself
before spring

The weather has been wild here during Storm Erik and we hope everyone in his path is safe and well.

Wishing you all a very happy Monday and a wonderful new week,
