Freestyle
Dawn wakes the forest
shining golden through the pines.
While I sip coffee.

Sounds lovely, better than the rushed start I had this morning to get out in the snow and get to work. Although I do need to make a coffee now I’m here.
Have a lovely day,
Jade
Snow! Yikes. We have Spring. Glorious Spring!
perfect photo for your wonderful prose!
I’m sipping coffee and seeing the house they built on the former horse ranch across the street. Sigh…not the same.
Polly — I so know how you feel. a for sale sign went up on the wooded lot next door. We are hoping it won’t sell.
Wonderful Q. I’d like to be there with ya but I’d be doing the Dew LOL. Well done
Thom — the morning was doing the Dew, too!
OOOoooo great picture of the trees. They are so tall. And you haiku this week is excellent. A very fitting turn.
Nessa — those are actually small for PNW trees.
Dawn? Dawn? I thought you were opposed to early mornings!
Beautiful photo and haiku, Quilly! The photo matches Knarf’s haiku-en!
Kelley — I am, but Amoeba has a job and I toast and juice him every morning. I also make him a lunch and a thermos full of hot tea. Before anybody complains, I do not work. He does. Therefore, taking care of him IS my job — and I quite enjoy it.
Dawn is the end of a fine day.
Doug — I totally agree. Amoeba, however, has a day job …..
I have 2 trees – that’ll have to do for my forest!
Great haiku!
RiA — this “forest” is in my back yard.
Lovely! I was sitting there with you (minus the coffee).
Jenn — cuppa tea?
Lovely picture and caption!
Linda – -thanks. This was taken from our deck and is the view from the dining room table.
Actually, they’re firs, not pines – but then, somebody would probably think you’re a fir trader, and I don’t wish to have to plow past PETA people pickets. So, well done.
Amoeba — I know they’re Douglass Fir and you know they’re Douglas Fir, but for the sake of my haiku they are pine. Sometimes syllables make all the difference in the world.
That’s a *fabulous* way to have coffee!
Q–Do listen to the botanist!. LOL.
I don’t drink coffee, but your haiku made it so inviting. Beautiful words!
Lovely — both the words and the photo.
beautiful imagery.
i can’t help rearranging it, though:
morning coffee…
shafts of gold
through the pines
