HAIBUN 2

Posted on September 8, 2015 by https://vivinfrance.wordpress.com

My first attempt for dVerse Haibun Monday diverted  from the classical recipe, so I had another go.

Stormy morning, 29.12.12 from my bedroom.

Stormy morning, 29.12.12 from my bedroom.

The distant past drifts by, circling as I plod the moody land towards the angry sea. I ponder the consequence of our occupation of this planet.  Tread lightly on the earth, let grudges go and live today with gusto but be mindful of tomorrow.  What we do now impacts the future lives of our descendants

 

Floods in winter
arid heat in summer
climate change our doing

    I like how you ascribe emotions to the elements of nature. Indeed.

    There’s lots to ponder about our occupation of this planet that’s for sure. I like to think it’s not all bad…

    The moody land and angry sea has a true reason to be angry.. A haibun that stings.. and rightly should so.

    Mother of Earth Storms her brew.. sitting
    quietly at the table of man.. women loving
    nature more.. gathering instead of hunting
    in patriarchal way.. Matriarchy saves the day..

    Once again..
    Mother eyes
    live above below..:)
