peat



mourning doves' gray calls
resound over centuries -
hollow pre-dawn mist

Linking to Haiku My Heart Friday

    I feel like I know about these doves. A few feed inn my yard each day. I hear their soothing cooing sound. It is only what mankind has done that changes as nature stands steady and constant. Beautiful.

    Peace

    There is mystery in your haiku, as well as mist. I appreciate both.

    I love how the doves disappear into the mist, only to reappear in your haiku...

    Those calls are like that, for sure. Timeless and eternal become synonyms at that time.

    (Bruce, your prompt, bathing, is up at OSI this Sunday. Would you send me a poem and image for the home page?)

    i love the presence of something so soft
    and ephemeral
    traveling across all time.

    'resound over centuries'
    brings in scene lots that is not put in words but is there. Lovely Haiku.

    You put it nicely, Bruce. I always felt sorry for those mourning doves.

    Thank you for the nice OSI prompt this week. We have quite few 'bathing' beauties already.

    I will think about those mournful calls at pre dawn from now on. Such a tactile haiku.
