dVerse Poets – Haibun Monday – That Picnic
Photo: parks.dpaw.wa.gov.au Walyunga National Park.
A short drive to Walyunga for early spring to see white water and take a trail walk. Backpacks filled with thermos, lunch, and picnic blanket. We find a quiet space and sit to wonder at the water flowing past and spring’s evidence everywhere.
Time was nature’s gift
inhibitions flew away,
heron were calling
