nearing retirement
old wood becoming
a tree again

#haiku #senryu #decomposition #changes
Close up on the bottom of some old wooden fence posts. The bottoms are rotting and further up there is bright green moss pale green lichen blooming making it look like an abstract tree.

An orange sunset over a navy blue Lake Erie. The foreground is lighter blue and gets darker near the horizon. The sky is a deep pink orange at the horizon and gets lighter towards the top of the frame. At the time of this photo, the lake is 97% frozen over, its most frozen state in the last 30 years. Near the shore, frozen waves.

Here is a landscape nature photo I took of a snowy field in the Shenandoah Valley. The field's white triangle of hill meets a wedge of snow-covered trees. A white sky above reflects the snow below. The smoothness of the top and bottom of this image is contrasted by the inky texture of trees severing the scene in half. As an artist and writer, I see paper everywhere. Negative space makes me want to recreate moments and fill in the blank. Being drawn in by this wintery expanse inspired my latest haiku: snowy field the vastness of a blank page
