a music festival, a treehouse, a tire swing, hammocks, kids with BB guns, Costco, IKEA, a zoo, a small amusement park, smoke from a forest fire, driving, driving, and more driving
green mountains, snow-capped mountains, foggy mornings, hazy afternoons, clear nights, day drinking, birthdays and anniversaries, a bbq, summer-like heat, spring rains, flowers, flowers, and more flowers
Golden Week, a string of national holidays in Japan at the end of April and beginning of May which are often used for traveling.
This year, instead of taking an extended vacation, my family and I made the most of day trips, which meant a lot of time in the car. As the sole driver, that gave me a lot of time to take in new scenery and turn it into haiku.
Here are the results.
the haze of a hangover
a blackbird
the words Christ has risen
billboard battles
outside the fish market
neighborhood cats
all along the highway
wild wisteria
working in the fields
a time slip
someone else’s misfortune
this time
on a winding valley road
a snowy mountain
