Hando’s haiku as an inspiration…
caught by the call
of the flowers and mountain, I forget
how steep the path is
Brought me back to my recent trip to Madeira. The paths are usually not steep, but you are always walking close the abyss.
my thoughts wander –
magically the winding path
avoid the abyss

Love this Bjorn! Hope you are having a Wonderful Holiday 😉
I have had it so far.. now back in the darkness of winter.
Winter cannot be dark when there is snow on the ground and sparkling, star lit nights 🙂
Here it’s grey skies and rain… still now winter.
yes, and avoid the long slide down as well…got to be careful on the edge of the abyss…
welcome back
Actually it is easier to walk UP a steep path, I think, than to make one’s way back down. At least I find it that way!
The paths on Madeira are usually more like shelves… the steepness is on the outside of the path.. but I agree that going down is harder.
Good to know that you had a great trip to Madeira and what a joy to read this haiku inspired on Hando’s haiku and your experience on Madeira. Awesome haiku, would like to use it for one of our upcoming Tan Renga Challenges.
Oh thank you.. I would be honoured.
It’s my pleasure Björn… thank you for granting me permission to use your haiku.
Love that you consciously avoid the abyss.
Beautifully crafted, Bjorn. Most fitting for a Tan Renga haiku later as Kris implored. Great!
