I’m joining Trina Haase at Trinarrative in a daily haiku challenge for December.
For my found haiku, I decided to mine one entry in a field journal I recently started to capture notes when I hike. One found haiku led to another haiku, and somehow I ended up with a little sequence, all using words found in my field journal for a late October hike in Wind Cave National Park.
Double half rainbow
Over expansive vista
Soon fades to nothing
Bleached October sage
Still smells faintly of summer
When crushed under foot
Crest hill only to
Arrive at another hill
Prairie never stops rising
Hoofprints of bison
Dried and hardened on the trail
Eagle soars above
A silence that speaks
In the distance a coyote
Wind rustles the grass
