Trees
The silent wind howls.
A couple of trees, a hill.
Awoken by new technology.
We were driving home one day, my family and I, after shopping. And it was night, after eight o'clock. I was listening to music on my iPod, and looking out the window. We went by this hill, with a small clump of trees on it. And everywhere else, around that hill, were all sorts of modern things. Shopping centres and light. The beauty of the contrast between those old, simple trees on that hill with all that technology surrounding it just...blew me away. I had to write about it. I hope that my haiku evoked the image of what I saw. Or at least your version of it.
Please leave me a review and tell me if I succeeded in describing the scene.
PS: "The silent wind howls" is because it was windy but I was in the car. So, from my point of view, it was a silent wind.
October 19th: Okay, turns out it isn't the tradictional haiku with 5-7-5 (for the syllables)... It's 5-7-9. Oops. I'll try to change it, but it's not easy.
