Journeys

This week's theme for one deep breath: journeys



through the windscreen
an unfamiliar landscape
the journey begins




seabirds follow
the wake of the ferry
a thread between islands


More haiku here

  5. Thanks everybody. I'm a bit lazy sometimes, I lifted the "thread between islands" line from an earlier poem. I might put it on my blog sometime.
    The car windscreen shot is from a trip to Australia - we were on a motorway overbridge in Brisbane. The other one is the ferry between the North and South Islands of New Zealand, somewhere in the Marlborough Sounds. It's a very scenic journey. I relied on photos already in my collection for this prompt, and came up with haiku to match.
