Maui Haiku part 2

I was able to enjoy a month in Maui during this past winter. The visit coincided with the celebrated lunar new year and the annual whale migration. I rediscovered a book of Kerouac Haikus along with Basho in my iPad library. Both were quite suitable for the location and the month"s long duration of my visit Due to the winter weather there were frequent rains and a mist layer in the hills which led to a sensory encapsulation and quietness. This seemed to enhance a poetic view on things that I’ve tried to reflect in this series. In the series I picture myself as the lone traveler making a trek to a hilltop to a place of remembrance, reflection and the new year. At times I’ve thought of my photos as Haikus. The tonality I chose is to further enhance this vision by providing a mystic hue. Molokai morning Winter’s mist delays time’s call One breath remembered Winter’s new moon In Maui The whales sing The whales song reaches new moon’s dragon brings luck Welcome the rabbit The mist in the hills Winter’s night rains dampen my walk Quiet Remembrance. I walk in the hills The winter’s mist welcomes me Lay Quiet In winters mist Basho’s pond patiently waits Spring will come
