One Shoot Sunday Picture Prompt
~
Eroded living
Rocky memories cluster
Birth of new beauty
Open boundary
Landscapes in focal fragment
New unchartered frame
I was there awhile
A small stone like a small cairn
Perhaps you'll find me
~
NOTE: If you would like to experience a wilder rollercoaster ride, read
Dustus' Entering Threshold.
My comment on his post: Dynamic! Like a torrent of literary minds and raw adventurers and those who need acting in their lives! All falling in some mesmerising heap leaving a mass grave at some threshold! This rattled me in an exhilerating way!
One Shoot Sunday is hosted by Dustus @ One Stop Poetry
THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Great title and your haiku stanzas fit together well to fill the frame. Very cool how your last stanza makes me think of the lone stone left on the ledge.
Great tight senryu set Gemma, who knows maybe you will be discovered ;)
I thrive on compression in writing...you have done that well here
the essence of self, invested in nature
Peace, hp

That last stanza is a stunner! Well done.
tight Haiku...I must acknowledge Dustus on your mention of the rock on the sill....Excellent.
The photo is a jaw-dropper. :D Love it.
Beautiful, vast descriptions, lonely yet playful. Love the style that you've chosen to express this.
Love the focus you created in that last verse. Somehow, I think we all want that.
