On a wintry day in the Sonoran Desert, storm clouds form in the east.
 


Winter afternoon—
one dove falling from the clouds
changes everything.

    Oh no. What an awful thing to see. To be reminded that these things happen all the time. I feel lucky not to have seen such a thing but it reminds me that I saw a hawk by the roadside. Fairly fresh kill as the feathers were still fluttering in the wind, very sad.

    Living close to the desert must really change your attitude to many things, including survival. This regularly comes to the forefront of your beautiful writing emphasised by the use of the haiku format which tells so much in so few words.

    We both went with a winter theme – you with your dove and me with robins. I like that the falling dove can be interpreted in several ways.

    Oh yes! I’m, reminded of the red wheelbarrow on which so much depends – but this comes with a sharper, more poignant realisation.

    Picture and haiku both beautiful.

    A bit of an ‘unease’ haiku (is that the right word?) and I love it! Hope the rest of the birds stay up in the air… have a great weekend. Love from Holland.

    I love the bushy tree against the dry landscape. It has almost a heart shape to it, and it seems to be watching the approaching storm clouds on the horizon.
