It’s been a little while since I’ve participated in Rebecca’s monthly poetry challenge over at Fake Flamenco. November’s is to write a haiku about something in nature that fascinates you, and that’s right up my alley. So, here are a couple of offerings.
Though we may hold on
Nature knows when the time’s right
To just let things go
Bare limbs twist and reach
Like wanting hands to the sky
Hungry for winter
I’m particularly inspired by nature in fall and winter, and I love the change in the color and light, and the bare limbs of the trees. So, this challenge came along at the perfect time! And if you’d like to join the fun, you’ve got until November 13th. 😊

I enjoyed both of these, and I find bare limbs fascinating, too.

I really like the idea that the tree limbs are hungry for winter! It was unexpected, then I thought, time to rest. : )

Yes! That’s how I’ve looked at winter for a long time – as a time to rest and recharge. I love it. 🙂

Enjoyed both, Katie, but if you don’t mind me saying so, I like it best when you lean more on image than concept (as in the second one) 🙂
