Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #341 — Frost and Glint
This year I went on a quest with the goal of finding fall colors. Here’s a 4-part haiku story based on pictures taken on the Mount Hood Scenic Byway in Oregon.
Deep in the mountains
Mount Hood surveys the landscape
Anticipation
Draped in mossy robes
Rooted in shades of autumn
Fall’s gala begins
On a distant shore
Rushing away from the flow
Resting in the ebb

In the morning light
Fireworks light up the fall sky
Amazement above

When the day breaks bright
We find our comfortable place
Basking in its warmth
After waiting years
for bright blossoms to appear,
luminous at last

Friday Flowers

A deserted stage
Emptiness filled with blossoms
Silent symphony
Friday Flowers
Delicate flowers
Suspended from slender stems
Chime in pastel tones




Friday Flowers
Wet and wild otters
Grateful for their liquid world
Tread into its depths

Gliding silently
Steering with slender rudders
In a search for bliss

Precious little souls
Clad in curly woolen coats
Innocent and pure



In a black & white world, everything is laid bare for all to see.
A lack of color
Highlights drama in the skies
In brilliant detail

A lack of color
Gives expression to patterns
Often unobserved


Tiny pale flowers
Curving fragrant slender stems
Sagebrush pirouette
Friday Flowers



Magic in the wind
Pushes whirling windmill blades
Creating power

Bright yellow blossoms
Inviting hovering bees
To harvest their gold


Ancient trees direct
An ensemble of moist clouds
Over the desert
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Path

Hiding in plain sight
In a cradle of summer
She patiently waits

Tucked beneath the sage
Reflections of stars above
Shine forth from the sand
