Week 2 of #NaHaiWriMo, we explore winter imagery with this #freeverse #haiku from Tré (@tregallery.com):

around poplar's
snowy bend
another short road

Thank you for joining our Haiku Month Wolf Pack Highlights every Tuesday.

This is a nature photo Tré took of a curved poplar branch in the snow. Beneath a white daytime gloom, the background's bokeh features falling flakes and an evergreen forest. A few snowflakes float, suspended around the limb. The scene provokes a chilled serenity that inspired Tré's latest free verse haiku: around poplar's snowy bend another short road

Here is a black and white breakwater photo I took in the Bahamas, off Great Abaco. These man-made structures are designed to mimic the appearance of shoals, but their job is to protect the coast from high-energy waves and storms. The pitted rocks stretch diagonally across the sea, from right to left, like a bridge over calm waves. The sky is strewn with a delicate mixture of clouds; my favorite being the wispy cirrus in the upper right that looks like a fishbone or a feathery arrow. Between the rugged rocks and soft sky, the ocean appears wrinkly, almost silken, leading to a distant line of shore. The tinest sailboat drifts on the right, facing left. Standing before this clutch of serenity, I couldn’t help but wonder: what stories does each rock hold? Every dip, crack, and dent becomes a word. From all angles, different pages emerge. Yet, all we can read is on the surface. What dwells deeper within or beneath the tides? An ocean of libraries. These thoughts inspired another haiku in my travel journal. clouds shape narrative shoal rock tales form a library

It was a rough day at sea when I took this black and white photo while sailing around El Arco, located on the coast of Cabo San Lucas, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. The smooth tides of Lovers Beach are on the Cortez side of the arch, and Divorce Beach’s thrashing tides are on the Pacific side. El Arco's jagged dip into the misty tides is accentuated by its open arch. Waves crash through the opening, and its uneven roundness offers a hazy view of what lies beyond: the calm stretch of shore known as Lover's Beach. El Arco's beautiful formation inspired this haiku in my travel journal: rough lands end smooth curves roam lover's beach
