Most mornings I'm up early to begin my morning walk. I feel fortunate to be out and about when the world hasn't quite woken up. To tread upon the earth taking in the sunrise and the beauty of nature brings me great peace. Today's morning walk was the inspiration for this senyru. Enjoy.

amidst nature’s grace footsteps tread upon the earth walking brings peace home

Yes, a good walk can help anyone calm down, get relaxed, and ready to rest. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us both in the snapshot and in words. Sara

THIS is a nice haiku. In the venerable tradition... Oops! I see you've labeled it as a senryu... Well, I can tell you that it works for me as a haiku! Bravo, Sara!

oops, my bad. I thought it was a haiku as well...but with the last line I thought my poem was a senyru. I agree...a haiku it is. :-) Enjoy your day. Sara PS thanks for the applause

Sara! Goodness! You’ve written, you’ve walked a wonderful circle! I love circles in poetry. Thank you for visiting my poem “Luminous,” which also has a circular setting. So wonderful to meeting your poetry here. Now a follower. Write on!

Thank you Sally. I look for 'completion,' circles if you will. I find them powerful and significant. Following you now too. Enjoy your day, Sara
