Frost beneath my feet
Wild geese chanting overhead
Earth, Man, and Heaven

Indeed, I was delighted at the result but I celebrated a bit too hard last night. 😦

Line 2 provides a nice example of the nuances of word choice. While to say that geese are “calling” or “honking” be fine in many contexts, to say that they are “chanting” is much better here.

There’s a beautiful harmony conveyed in your haiku where animals, human, and the weather come together. Stunning piece. Do you practice Taijiquan?

Yes indeed. I started practicing years ago but the past couple of years it’s become more important to me. I’d go crazy(er) without it. 😉 Miss you, Rose. Thanks for reading.

I like your craziness. Don’t lose it, Oggy. ❤️ I haven’t found my balance, yet. Perhaps I need to take up Taijiquan.

It is. It’s based on Yin/Yang theory, and has a deep spiritual component for those who want it. It’s also great exercise. Thanks for reading and commenting, Maniparna.

A lovely feel to this piece, and kind of magical, because I’ve never experienced it–different hemisphere and climate.
