Entry for 19 August 2010:
The haiku form seems to work well for writing about Murray Creek, especially now, when it is so quiet and peaceful.
1.
Late summer stillness
Deer eat brush just below house
Nature fills our space.
2.
Leave all that behind
Labyrinth knows what matters
Arrive at center.
3.
Old trail above creek
First time cleared in many years
Heart must follow now.
4.
Unpicked all summer
Wild blackberries that yield easiest
To hand taste so sweet.
5.
Before he left, my
Brother removed dam from creek
Water finds new place
Tree branch reflects in still water.
6.
Dusk: we wait for owls
Their low cries come up from creek
Suddenly fill the trees.
