A Single Tree – Haiku – November 11, 2015

alone on the mountain stands

This is an attempt to use the “yugen” haiku writing technique … for more information on the technique click HERE.  An example which I enjoyed very much was written by Chèvrefeuille:

from a treetop
emptiness dropped down
in a cicada shell
the soothing sound of spring rain
makes the silence stronger

  5. I lile the use of negative space in this photo. Not really “negative” of course, but visually so restrained and meditative.
