Soft green lumps of hills
surround the valley basin.
Look far from the ridge.

The picture wasn't quite what I wanted, but the verse covers many such areas there probably.

Such a lovely view with a great haiku. Sorry just had to add a bit of rhyming there. wink

The poem goes very well with the photo Rhiannon.

Thank you, Jenny, and for your rhyme!

I had in mind a more barren spot, with more distant hills, but I think taking a photo there of the whole thing would have been difficult, too much of a sweep. That's where you can get more in a few words' description! Rhiannon

How on earth (!) to you gat such a sense of space in so few words? I loved this

Thank you, Di. So glad it worked for you! I haven't often tried the form, but somehow the brevity did seem to emphasise the spaciousness! Rhiannon

Very nicely done, Rhiannon. Haiku's can be tricky but you have made it look easy here. Paul

Thank you, Paul. It came unusually, and seemed to benefit from brevity. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon

I remember that area when my husband and I spent time reseaching relatives. Your haiku describes it concisely
