Good morning folks,
From the highest peaks to the darkest hollow this morning with a couple of haiku…
Mountain
The pine tips whisper
Of white peak and mountain pass.
Mountain messengers.
Mist
Road dip and dank dell –
Harbours of mist and vapour,
Cringing from the dawn.
Things I’ve read this week…
Jennifer Wortman’s ‘Jumping the Shark‘, published this week in Okay Donkey Magazine is a sideways look at a marriage in trouble. Thoughtful and with wonderful humour throughout, I found it ultimately uplifting.
‘Scratch‘ by Tom Sheehan – just fabulous.
*Thanks for reading, folks. Recent short stories of mine include ‘Zenith‘ and ‘Besieged‘. Images courtesy of Pixnio and Pixabay.*

Brrr! Great wintery snippets, Matthew 🙂
Cheers Tom!
Between “Mountain Messengers” and “Cringing from the Dawn”—oh my!
I delight in seeing things anew through your lovely pairings.
Thanks so much! Cringing from the dawn is probably a bit of self reflection at this time of year!
lovely winter Haiku, Matthew: love ‘harbours of mists and vapour’ ; brrrrrr 🙂
Thanks John. Bloody cold here in Scotland!
The joys of Winter! Beautifully penned. I love the pairings and the contrasts.
Thanks Goff. Very much appreciated!
Pleasure. Best Regards.
