Pleased to contribute to the latest Haiku Dialogue theme Intoxication, Writing Poetry. Thanks to editor dkarlbrandt.bsky.social. Great to see haiku poets write about writing and use various techniques to do so within the #haiku realm. See the link here thehaikufoundation.org/haiku-dialog...

Another Norway trip inspired one. On the train from Bergen to Oslo.

Photographed from a train window. Trees and shrubs showing their first signs of autumn colors. Atop the stone wall a bounty of scarlet leaves. The taller trees are still very much green.

A hillside covered in vegetation that is predominantly light green and yellow with a bid of red. Atop the hillside, there is a house.
