low tide – Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey

Haibun: First Advent

The retreating sea leaves seaweed glittering in the morning sun. Exposed rocks draped in green shelter us from the wind. Pearl spins around with a playful bark. I open my pocket and throw her the ball. She catches it mid-air, content in a steady canter.

Tanka: Where Night Sleeps

one more run
before the light fades
gold glitters
on wet stones and tidal sands
where night sleeps, moonlight dripping

Wishing you all a beautiful Tuesday,
