This week’s Haiku Sunday from 14,000 feet above our normal life commemorates the 4th of July hike on Mount Evans and Summit Lake we took with the brilliant food travel writers Come due Maiali (like two pigs). I strongly encourage everyone to dive into their lovely blog and find out what happens when a Russian Princess meets an American Renaissance man and they begin to tango around the world.
If I only had
a brain said the scarecrow as
he leapt from his perch
Tapping and tapping
he stared out into the vast
empty parts of him
The haze was welcomed
after the sun had shone so bright
almost as the night
un po di neve
sulla terra della
montangna oggi
this tree is like me
said the man with the hair and eyes
younger than his age
grip the purple cap
pull it tight to the heart of it
then let it go slow
it peeked through the peak
hoping not to sleep or eat
just to meet and seek
icy black and cold
the swimming favors the bold
limericks get old
from the east to west
from the sea to the mountains
high as high were they
For reasons unknown I’ve missed some of your posts again!
Loving this, especially the purple caps! Cheers!
Wonderful! Great ‘ku and photos.
Thanks Ryan! How are things in your world?
