Love the playfulness of this haiku. Know where I'd be…
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.

Very fun, Jill! Yes, I've often been sidetracked with berry picking. This haiku has me looking forward to summer. Thanks!
I would be right there as well! Lovely haiku.
A hiker after my own heart. Love the gently humor in this one.
Thank you for the smiles. I love this one!
Delicious.
This one made me smile in a couple different ways. Love the cheekiness of it along with the appreciation of nature.
Love it.
wonderful!
all day hike
the cloud covered sun
lost in time
A delight!

Looking forward to more of your works in future.

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

Thanks All for your comments. Feels so fine sharing a moment with others who really “get it.”
Love this! I always brake for berries on the trail :)
Another hiker bites the dust…or rather, raspberries. Love this one, Jill.
There is a hint of naughtiness in this that I adore! :)
