Sitka Pirates


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

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!


Peace

ghosts of journeys past

Very evocative. Sitka spruce, ghost ships. I love seeing beyond what I'm seeing and what I'm reading and you did that magic for me. Happy new year.

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.

Jennifer Wagner said...

I do the same...glad you enjoyed the discovery!
