    Welcome Jill and a lovely debut haiku here on Tinywords!

    I really enjoy the sense of breathlessness that comes from the break between the first and second line, especially when reading this verse out loud. It really brought the experience of bushwalking back to me.

    Looking forward to more of your works in future.

    "Serious hikers" – what a great clause
    This is a wonderful poem on multiple layers
