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

Between desert hills
The old hourglass’s renewed hands
Only found fool’s gold
