Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
old shadows wheezing
beneath a twisted mesquite—
three mountains to cross

Lovely sense of dramatic struggle in your haiku! And love the view of the sky through tangled boughs!
already wheezing and 3 mountains to cross? we’ll never make it!
Aw, come on, Nonnie! You can do it!
Are those old shadows wheezing because they are carrying the guitars all the way to Portugal?
Why, yes! How did you know?
Over three mountains
Through the desert of despair
To sing to the sea

I suppose they’ll sing if they haven’t wheezed all their breath out first!

Fantastic haiku and image. I love the last line “three mountains to cross.” It sounds like a line from a western. Nicely done!
A place to rest before the trek.

I don’t know what is more beautiful, the picture or the words.
‘with music in heart
cross the three mountains
shadows come alive!’
WOW! MMT What a wonderful photo. That blue sky is awesome … love the way you’ve written this haiku on Fado. Thank you for sharing.
echoing sounds
of the fado singer
in the high mountains
Very creative capture. Nicely done.
Certainly feels sad ~ ‘fado’ ~ excellent haiku ~ wonderful photo ~ Carol of (A Creative Harbor) ^_^ on blogger
very pretty, craggy scene.
It brings me back 20 years.. Oh the Sonoran desert, I would like to song a fado.
Mesquite is always picturesque and in your pictures even more so than usual! Lovely.
