One Deep Breath prompt for week: Spring/Fall Sounds
Springtime Above the Track
Deep throated engines
dulled by stately conifers,
backdrop for birdsong

Marcia,
A world without trees would be miserable ...for me.
The perspective drawn by the clouds is spellbinding.

I have heard and seen this morning.Lovely haiku to go with the photo.
have to be glad the trees deaden traffic noise for the birds....
Reniman - I agree, trees draw me in! Can't take credit for the photo other than pointing and hoping. Guess I hope well. Taken in the foothills of the Cascades.
Jone - Heard and seen is a good thing!
Craft Green Poet - I am glad the noise is deadened for the birds, although I love the drone, it is from a race track at the bottom of the hill.
Thank y'all for taking the time to read and comment on my Haiku.
What a beautiful haiku for trees! They do so much for us, from blocking out noise to providing pretty songs!
Just brilliant...
Regina Clare Jean - I almost hate to tell you that it was the drone that brought this Haiku for me -- and not the trees -- although the trees became the focus. Thank you for reading and commenting today.
Logging in the springtime. What a contrast you have created.
I think wildlife adapts. The largest jetport in Maine is close. We have aircraft overhead all day. Life goes on. I did see a deer look up the other day, as a low plane came over. Mostly, the birds and animals ignore the noise.
Great line about birdsong.
Brian, it could be logging, but it was the race track. I love that it said logging to you -- I live in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for commenting.
Sandy - I wonder if for the most part it is now like white noise to them. Birdsong line surprised me, a bit, I write more about emotions, I think, than nature. Thank you for commenting.
Thank goodness for the trees, huh? Nice haiku & image.
Neasa - I agree, trees are a wonderful thing, I am grateful to have. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
That's a nice way of looking at it. The human noise pollution as a canvas for nature not an obstruction, a cocreator, co-evolver of birdsong.
Pearl - I think you were writing a poem in your head as you commented, I could see one there! Thank you for commenting.
for me, this evokes that new quality of sound that accompanies spring. maybe it's because we spend more time outside, or with the windows open, and hear more of the "layers" of sound. i like the fact that the birdsong is still the top layer
thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment
Unfolding Rose - Opening windows often is one reason I love WA so much, in FL it was just too hot, here, even on many winter days, I can still open a window a bit to hear the "layers" of sounds. Thank you for commenting today.
