Big Sagebrush Haiku

I am thankful for a particular stately sagebrush that I walked by on January snow walks in the Wenatchee Foothills. Each time I arrived, I wondered what lesson this sentinel teacher would offer me that day. I penned a Haiku to accompany a few portraits of my tenacious trailside sage. I invite readers to write and post -as a blog comment – your own Haiku (a three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern) inspired by winter encounters the Wenatchee Foothills.

Deeply rooted here

Welcoming whatever comes

Strong arms reach upward

    Beautiful, Susan! I see the shrub steppe from my backyard off Badger Mountain Road, so your pictures and haiku really resonate with me. Thank you!
