Seek amid the detritus

I like this one – I am currently sorting through piles of detritus (which includes old bleached bones from a tiny bird that I found in the sand dunes). Meanings and understandings are slowly emerging.

Thanks, Suzanne… We all do that, but whether we see it as useful or negative depends on perspective…like the way we see these birds.

True. It was just uncanny how I had just put the box of bones to one side then took a break , scrolled through blogs and read your haiku. 🙂

Mythago wood?

Indeed! Your poem feels very primal, very raw, just like Mythago Wood (or the Merlin Codex… it’s all of the same calibre) 🙂

I read the Mythago Wood series many years ago… and again a couple of years ago. Some good concepts in there.
