Nature Haiku

One man sees beauty,
Lonely are roads not traveled,
breathe silent forest.

Here natures best friend, 
who enjoys simplicity,
lives more than charmed life. 

Night drawing closer,
Take one last look at beauty,
Take mental image.

Your interpretation of the photo reminds me of the lonely life the owner of the Seven Sisters led, Chris. Beautiful images and a very moving haiku. Congratulations on your win in Michael's contest! Love, Carolyn

As the sun sets, there have been many times I took one last look at nature's beauty to remember that "mental image," Chris. Very eloquently expressed images in all three verses. Also wanted to thank you for posting such an imaginative contest. I'm working on an entry and it's really a pleasure joining the lines from different songs together. Hope you had a great weekend. Best wishes, Carolyn
