Haiku Heights 196...Tree




Fog wraps the blanket
Winter croons the lullaby
Life sleeps in Spring dreams
 
 
 
 
 
I've been meaning to post at Haiku Heights for awhile, though one thing or another always sidetracked me.  However, today's prompt was Tree.  The one above stood on a large hill overlooking the Firth of Forth, not far from where we lived in Edinburgh.  I have taken many pictures of it, in all seasons.  When I saw the theme for this week's haiku, I thought of this photo: My tree, in the chill of a fog-dense Scottish morning, waiting.
