   November Forest

Ragged rocks frame
this deep-forest path
through these ancient
  ‘endless’ hills.
A long-shadow sunset,
twilight  breeze, and
shreds of evening mist,
turns this mystic
woodland world into
a dazzling dance of
bare-bone trees and
  falling leaves
to the distant tune
of Autumn passing.
Here, in the ‘now’
the mind and heart
turn clear as the
fine moon rising
in its infinite mantle
of shimmering stars.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Sounds like a great nature walk you and Ticklefingers are undertaking.

Thanks for your comment/reply posts on this 'write!' ...

I keep several "walking sticks" here ... leaning against
a corner at all times (always read to go!)

Enjoyed reading this, in poetry as in nature simplicity is all.
Thanks

thanks, Pete !

That's why I like Haiku and Haikoids (the short-form Zen
poetry of the 'old masters' of China and Japan) best!
