Haiku Friday: Mountains


As someone who has spent his adult life in Detroit, Waco, and Minneapolis, I am no expert on mountains.  That makes them all the more fascinating to me, of course.  Let's haiku about them today… I will go first.

Peaks of Mount Clemens
Tower high over Detroit
Or so I dreamed.

Now it is your turn-- use five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third, and have some fun!

In Connecticut
We just call a hill a hill,
We're not mountain folk.

Texas is pretty,
but Utah's high desert peaks:
Now that is beauty!

Light pierces shadow,
Gazing down on dawn rising.
Eyes closed, mind's peak.

Realized the world was not flat,
