M. L. Kiser Poet Haibun

Woodland Memories

As a kid, I loved to find any unusual shells and rocks; I do to this day.  I used to walk the piney woods of Georgia, with my favorite uncle.  He made up the neatest stories to tell me about each stone or arrowhead that I found; visiting him was always loads of fun.  Like him, I’m a story teller, entertaining others.  I loved those woods and the great finds there; so many great woodland memories.

piney woods
shed upon sacred ground-
bedding

nature’s trinkets
abound in the woodlands-
arrowheads

Caren Krutsinger September 19, 2020 at 3:03 PM I want to hear a poem devoted to this uncle and those days, my friend. M. L. Kiser September 22, 2020 at 8:29 AM I must write one, he had quite a personality, my Mom's brother. Thanks.

Susan Ashley September 7, 2020 at 10:55 AM M. L., this is an absolutely enchanting haibun that captures my imagination and my heart. I love this intimate portrayal you've penned with such delicate emotion and artistry. Your haiku are a stunning and evocative tribute to the emotive prose. A fav! Warmest wishes always, dear poetess and storyteller.. ~Susan M. L. Kiser September 7, 2020 at 4:05 PM I was remembering walks with my Uncle in the woods of SC and finding arrowheads there beneath the pin needles. I'm glad you were enchanted.

Panagiota Romios September 6, 2020 at 3:17 PM I alive rock collecting. Nobody told me stories, though. I made up my own.!! I still like them. A friend went to Autschwitz and brought me back so many. Oh~ if those rocks could talk! Panagiota xxx M. L. Kiser September 7, 2020 at 4:06 PM Those rocks would indeed have some stories to tell, but I fear they would be sadly devastating.
