Our Last Hike in the White Mountains
Once the journey starts,
harsh words and terrain hinder,
blind us—and now rain.

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 341 FROST and Glint.
早朝の雪、
みんなは家で、
でも一人。
Early morning snow,
everyone is at home now,
alone, however.
Früh Morgen schneit es.
Ja, alle sind zu Hause,
aber ganz allein.
La neve d’alba,
tutti sono a casa,
però da sola.
It’s been such a long time since I’ve participated in the haiku challenge. Today seemed like the perfect day to try my hand at it again. The theme for this challenge is frost and glint. I used the above photography by Fabian Mardi as inspiration. Also, I wrote the poem in Japanese, and then tried to translate it to English, German, and finally Italian. Of course, my native language is English, so it is likely that I made mistakes in the other languages–my apologies in advance.

When Now
Trees will remember
our failures, centuries
passing like seconds.

Yesterday and Today
I walked three miles
under a red umbrella,
shading summer’s heat.

Blueberry Pie
There are certain things
that remain storybook art.
I have yet to taste.

Through Layers
Where is my voice now?
Buried in the yard, howling
through layers of dirt.

Memories of Dirt
The woods became cars.
I no longer hear the birds
outside my window.
Should I smile more now
or less because of progress?
Summer burns my feet
as I walk barefoot
on asphalt, trying to live
memories of dirt.

Dream of nightfall
“Why bother to rise?”
I asked the sun, still smiling,
drenched by summer’s heat.
I wander mind-fields,
pick thought-petals, have lunch, sleep
under the old oak
tree without worry,
with the sky protecting me,
I dream of nightfall.

RonovanWrites #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #103 Summer&Fun
To the Sea,
I watch anime,
pack, travel by mind (then feet),
wear sunscreen, and smile,
knowing these days end–
often too quickly–I rush,
thirsty and happy,
to the sea, then stop
because I can’t swim–still
I make time to learn.

Approaching summer
The horse looked back once
at the broken fence before
entering the woods.
