#SenHai #Saturday #39 #poetry
Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing!
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus are three lines presented in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.
The photographer describes the image as yellow flowers bloom at the mountain’s foot. But what I really enjoyed was what he wrote after that…
Woke up at dawn, hiked 3 hours through the darkness, and climbed over 1000 meters of elevation — but when you stand in front of this view at sunrise, with everything falling perfectly into place, every step was worth it. Moments like these make you forget the struggle and just feel awe.

Senryu #39
we climbed above the
sunrise on the horizon,
to talk to the gods
Haiku #39
rocky outcrop bathed
in sunlight - yellow flowers
make a small posy

Wonderful, Carolyn! Reaching the summit certainly puts us in their company! Perfect description of the scenery in your haiku. ❤
