Today the prompt is "forest" at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Here is a beautiful haiku by our host of Carpe Diem:
listen to the wind
that moves through the forests -
buzzing mosquitos

I was trying to remember times I was deep in a forest besides camping. Then I recalled times when I used to cross country ski in the mountains...not huge ones, mind you...more hills...Mount St Bruno was such a lovely place to hike, snow shoe and ski. It has alpine skiing too even if it is a tiny mountain; it is lit up atnight and only 15 minutes from downtown Montreal. So that`s pretty cool.
My favourite place to cross country was in Rougemont, where my son actually lives now. You go up up up for a long time. But you do get in the forest quick enough and can shed a few layers of sweaters under that winter wind breaker. It is a great place to just sit and admire the scenery. And once you get high enough, then you go down down down for a long time...lt is not too steep so the descent is really lovely.

:-) love you're new blog ... now I've some back reading to do! A great Haibun.
ReplyDeleteActually all my poems here are on Cher Shares as well. Today I am starting to simply put the link on WP to wean off slowly. I like your idea of putting a summary of your day's writing, Georgia. It does help to read on my phone...very helpful! I may piggy back on that idea later or just do it for Stigma and Cher Shares, that way I won't have to post on both. Tu es vraiment une personne avec des idés géniales!
