A look ahead to the shorter nights in Scotland with a couple of haiku…
Night
Canopy weeping
as the nights start to draw in –
more sky, fewer leaves.
Nothingness
Diminishing thread
from rural to nothingness.
Dirt road tapering.

Two interesting haiku, Matthew. The two are rather different, but both are very good!
Thanks Chris!

Thanks John
I saw these, read them, admired them, but somehow failed to comment. I like the contrast and symmetry between the sparse yellow leaves and the rural road to nothingness.
Thanks so much as always Annie
enjoyed these, Matthew; we’re at the other end of the spectrum: warmer, longer days ahead 🙂
Sure you’re looking forward to it John 🙂
