pine for love
alone at sunset
oh what grief
I had to dig deep into my image files to find a stimulus for Ronovan’s haiku challenge this week. The challenge words ” Pine and Grief” . See all about this haiku poets weekly challenge at https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/10/12/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-66-pine-grief/
I like the challenge of the original 2 words, no Thesaurus or tangent deviation for me. The image is another beautiful spring sunset at Ricketts Point. Who knows what that lone woman on the rocks was doing? Enjoying the sunset, pining for a lost love or maybe grieving over past times.

Simple and poignant..love the golden sunset and glistening on the ripples of sand.

Thanks Janice, I am finding the 3/5/3 break for haiku does allow for much more freedom.

That’s interesting how fewer syllables can be liberating–when mastered it certainly has a nice flow and impact.

Looking at the sun it oddly looks like a molten gold mushroom cloud, even with the stem. What an interesting image to inspire the imagination.

Thanks Ronovan, you certainly go deeply into that image. I am lucky to have such a fantastic setting for sunsets. Just a quick drive , decide where to go and start photographing.
