Sitka Pirates


a seashore moon
casting long sitka spruce shadows
            ghost pirate ship sails

  4. No ghosts here. I've seen many a sitka spruce mast as a Pirate in a former life. I love this Haiku, and the p[hoto is fantastic too!

  12. I am frequently sent running to Google to find images of things I've never seen before or, perhaps, to define an unfamiliar word. This time it was the Sitka Spruce. What a lovely evergreen. The color is gorgeous.
