In January/February 1992 I spent six
weeks at The Meadows, in Wickenburg
Arizona, USA. Waking early to see the
sunrise was a special
treat. Being from
the Midwest and Downeast Maine, the
saguaro cactus was fascinating with its
quirks and perks.

The prompt: Carpe Diem: desert
.
You will understand that our prompt for today is desert
and these are the haiku which Jane Reichhold
uses as an example for this modern summer kigo:
desert
awakened by silence
filled with dark
stars
in the sand
desert GIFT
YOUR voice
tying me to the desert
toast POPS UP
Aren’t they gorgeous?
I especially like the second haiku shared here,
because of the nice FREE style” way of composing it.
Through this free style this haiku is very strong and intense.

A few other “desert”-haiku,
the first an oldie from my personal weblog
Chèvrefeuille’s Haiku-blog and a new (re-done) one.
in the desert
the heat, the sand … my eyes
a Fata Morgana
…………..
tears fall
lost and alone in the desert
just the moon and I

Ah! The desert, one of our wonderful “eco-systems”.
I have learned to admire the desert through the posts of MMT.
Her photos and haiku have done that to me.

A musical prompt…

soothing sands and sun

no warning of flash flood watch
.
good day for walk

When staying in Wikenburg, AZ we were warned that the river path
for desert walks could be suddenly over flowing with raging water.
This photo I found on a Google search shows what can happen in a
desert moment…I saw a flash flood, from afar, where I walked earlier.
