Written for SenHai Saturday where our
host Susi asks us to write a senryu and
a haiku using the image shown below
as inspiration. Here’s my response.

SENRYU

between two errands
he stopped the car, just to watch
the hills disappear

HAIKU

fog erases peaks
only the gold hill remains

grass bending in hush
