This week’s Haiku Sunday from 14,000 feet above our normal life commemorates the 4th of July hike on Mount Evans and Summit Lake we took with the brilliant food travel writers Come due Maiali (like two pigs). I strongly encourage everyone to dive into their lovely blog and find out what happens when a Russian Princess meets an American Renaissance man and they begin to tango around the world.
If I only had
a brain said the scarecrow as
he leapt from his perch
Tapping and tapping
he stared out into the vast
empty parts of him
The haze was welcomed
after the sun had shone so bright
almost as the night
un po di neve
sulla terra della
montangna oggi
this tree is like me
said the man with the hair and eyes
younger than his age
grip the purple cap
pull it tight to the heart of it
then let it go slow
it peeked through the peak
hoping not to sleep or eat
just to meet and seek
icy black and cold
the swimming favors the bold
limericks get old
from the east to west
from the sea to the mountains
high as high were they
About Michael Housewright
What a great day of hiking it was!
Thanks to you guys! It was so wonderful to see you both!
Natasha, my apologies for being so slow to respond to you. We loved having you guys here and we MUST get to to DC soon and play in your world for a bit
So many lovely photos . . . I can hardly choose one that speaks more favorably then the other. Looks as if it was a wonderful day, spent in equally wonderful company.
Hope you are well today, my friend,

Cara,
It was a lovely day! Colorado always sneaks up on me with its majesty. How are you? How is the book launch coming?
Great photos, Michael. And, of course, the haiku … always to think about.
Walk in peace,
Granny
Granny,
I am walking in the deep peace today! Feeling like we are on the verge of getting the show on the road. I have not seen anything from you lately. Are you taking a blog break?
Beautiful!!!
Boomie, you are just a superstar on the rise here! I am excited to work with you
Man that’s beautiful scenery! Have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. Have a great week!!
John,
Cheers to you John!
I will go and check this out on your site! I am working so much to get my site correct that it may be awhile before I can post the obligations of the award, but I sure am grateful for getting it
Thanks for the recommendation to go to Mount Evans. Loved it when I was there, and your photos remind me of the great trip full of views and new friends. It was my first “fourteener.” Cheers.
how are you guys?! Mt Evans is awesome. I really hope someday to get up there when it is sunny
Lovely haiku, and wonderful photos!
thank you very much! I look forward to checking out your work
I do love your haiku days. Though limericks may get old, I bet you’re great at them!
Magpie, you know I love a good limerick!
There once was an old writer from Bristol
who was always brandishing his pistol
a hot lady came to town
and called him a clown
because his heart was made of crystal
