Vote
Just vote
If it's raining grab your #raincoat and get soaked
Think that summat's more important then don't
Cos there's nowt
Like I've told you already go vote
In fact just read what I wrote
And if you can't be bothered you won't
Get any sympathy from me

And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding

#DailyHaikuPrompt Geese

The Geese fly in skeins
Which slice the pale autumn sky
Heralding a change

Sprinkled on the page
Just seventeen syllables
AI can't compete

For humanities sake, don't use AI to write your #Haiku

Detached from your #verve
We are bereft and bitter
Landscapes lack sweetness

A bare breeze flows through an April evening
Rippling the Dogs Mercury carpeting the woodland floor
A hare breaks and bolts across its surface
Slaloming #Ash saplings
Slowly lost amongst increasing upstanding density
Leaving a long green shiver to dissipate

Read and share in the journey along with the accumulating discomfort.
It's worth it 🙂

Many thanks to everyone who's shared and followed this (unexpectedly lengthy) walk-in-progress over the past few days. It's much appreciated. The full thread (128 posts) is below.

A walk from Leeds to Goole, via the River Aire, the Aire and Calder Navigation, the Knottingley and Goole Canal, the New Junction Canal and the Dutch River, 6.45am to 9.52pm Friday 26 September.

We may look like we refuse to #associate with each other, but we all look for opportunity and threat
Appearances can be deceptive
You haven't worked that out just yet
