It's Still Life

1.11: Journal of Thoughts

a single tree in a desolate area, with the sun setting behind it and a mountain range in the background

Senryu (for the lonely, human truth)

One tree stands its ground—
the sun abandons the field,
taking all the warmth.

Haiku (for the timeless, natural scene)

A lone tree’s shadow
climbs the mountain as the sun
bows out, cold and gold.

    These are fantastic pieces, Misky! I can’t say enough how everyone seems to have tapped into something great this week. The depth of these lines is felt so sincerely, and the perfect song you picked to accompany your poems, sublime. Just wow!
