Back burning in the national parks begins early Spring. The suburbs take on a surreal glow from the sun through the rising smoke. The light and the smell of ash from the first back burn signals summer is around the corner, when the bushfires start.

Back burns? Where I am, we mostly just get the orange glow from out of control bushfires.
ReplyDeleteNice hint of spring with the buds.
Like.
yes a good one emma
ReplyDeleteA splendid haiga Emma.
ReplyDeleteI had been just wondering whether your computer fizzled again. I was just beginning to feel like my haiku are a little too conventional. Your haiku are always original and interesting. This haiku and your photo work especially well together.
ReplyDeleteSeasons change, different beat, I love how you write :)
ReplyDeleteAnother good one Emma.
ReplyDeleteHere it is ashes and glow from forest fires and here we move into autumn. It's a treat to see your versions of the seasons.
Nice one

ReplyDeleteI'm writing my post again. My first had too many typos, I was too quick to click.
ReplyDeleteYour haiku are always of interest, especially since your seasons are the opposite of ours here in the northeastern US. We are now into early autumn.
