end of the day’s walk
thunder warns of storm’s promise
no short-cut
***
The prompt for Chevrefeuillle’s Carpe Diem is Short- Cut inspired by this haiku by Buson:
chikamichi ya mizu fumi wataru satsukiame
on the shortcut path,
stepping through water to cross the meadow
in the summer rains.
I wrote another poetic offering for the thunder and lightening show today.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Amazing how we can attend to nature’s warning signals and ignore others in our life.

Love the haiku. Like dark clouds in the sky, it sounds very ominous. Love the photo too. It looks like a water colour painting. Well done 🙂

As the rainstorm breaks loose …. than I would try to take a short cut path …. however a good rain storm can be pleasant after a hot summer day.
