Carpe Diem Special #46
Today's challenge is to use Jane Reichhold's haiku to inspire our own. This is hers:
forgotten brook
running the centuries down
locked in rock
running the centuries down
locked in rock
My inspired haiku:
I was fascinated by the layered rock in the buttes in Sedona. I was shown from ground and by helicopter the levels where once there was ocean, volcanic eruptions, civilizations lost. Fascinating.

They may be lost, but the record is still there!

That's what is so fascinating...that it's recorded in the rock formations!
DeleteI love watching documentaries showing geological and archeological history...perfectly expressed idea of how life just goes on and on, with or without humans,,,,
ReplyDeleteNice. History etched in rock:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome inspired haiku on the one by Jane Reichhold, almost in the same tone and sense as her's.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristjaan. I tried.
DeleteThis is shear beauty you capture here Maggie.. and Geology is close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteOoh, thank you, Björn!
DeleteI also find the rock formations of Sedona's vortex area - mesmerizing!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becca! Don't get me started on the vortexes. I did write many haiku around my visit in May but it's unending love.
