Bryan, being a neighbor of yours (about 45 miles south) and residing on a small farm in the middle of Mennonite country the crack of that whip hits close to home. Thanks for the fine haiku which encouraged me to order your new collection.
I can hear the whip Bryon. Great visual.
Living in Amish Country, I believe this haiku really speaks the truth. So well-crafted and I can hear and feel it!
passing cloud
between the doe’s ears
twitching gnat
