Love the subtle irony of this haiku. (Also coming to Canberra soon for a month. Would enjoy hearing your bush trail recommendations. See my website for contact info.) Reply

summer skies
pillows on blue
along the long trail
Clouds gone,
The charity of Shadows
clouds leave us to face our own shadows
shadows speak louder than clouds
Nice.
clouds of falling leaves
break the fall of rain
as shadows fail
Nice again.
