I have been plotting an escape up to the mountains for a while now. But it never seems to work out.
I don’t want to leave just to have to turn around and come back. Too much on my plate, as my mom used to say.
So, until then, I dream. The mountain air mixed with the melodies of the rambunctious creek, always brings me peace.

A haibun for Colleens Tanka Tuesday Challenge where the prompt word is :Green. I used Rural, who knew rural was a synonym for green, I didn’t! But I can see it now.🙂

It’s hard to go anywhere fun right now. Been a long winter here but sunny and 48° today and feels wonderful! Lovely poem Pat.

We have those nice warm days coming and going. Supposed to be warmer in the coming week. Can’t wait.
Thank you Jim.

Well, once our stream unfreezes, and this last 8-10 inches of snow melts and/or blows away, maybe this lovely mountain home I allegedly “enjoy” will match your idyllic, haibunilicious writing. Thanks.

Pat, I didn’t know “rural” was a synonym for green either! It totally fits! What a great job on this haibun! ❤
