It was in autumn that I climbed Mt. Chokai.
Now it is early in winter.
Mt. Chokai ―
white at the summit
gold below
鳥海山頂白く麓秋
Chokaisan itadaki shiroku fumoto aki
Mt. Chokai
goes to sleep ―
the past year
鳥海山眠りつきしや年暮れる
Chokaisan nemuri tsuki shi ya toshi kureru
― Hidenori Hiruta
Beautiful, photos and haiku. My favorite is the first, "gold below."

返信削除Hello Hirtua San!
返信削除You are most welcome; I enjoy exchanging comments with you. I apologize that the photo reference was unclear. It does mean “photo prompt from Day 21.” The link is attached to “photo prompt from Day 21 – Tell a story – Pen a poem – Write an essay – Sing a song – Create a title or caption” to a site called “Stories Without Words”. If you follow the link, it should take you to a photo of a red-headed girl leaning against a tv roof antena. My haiku references the British poet Tennyson’s poem, “The Lady of Shalott.”
I look forward to Part 2 of Haiku by Mr. Marshall Hryciuk.
Sincerely,
Yousei Hime
Thanks for introducing this beautiful mountain via Haiku.
返信削除I visited once (but by car) on the way to Gassan and Haguro san. Brings back memories!
