She’s wearing her red coat, which is warm and long, and it’s perfect. She wonders what she should write today, since she has a small notebook in her pocket. She strides across the ancient bridge; she stops in the middle. She surveys the large loch, pulls out her pencil and paper, and scribbles a few lines: it’s a haiku – from Scotland to Japan.
from heather
to cherry blossom;
just divine

Excellent, Chris! Sometimes a haiku happens, sometimes one needs a bridge to get to a haiku.

Well, it was a very nice bridge… sturdy, I thought. Plus I managed not to drop my notebook while I was writing there!
Thanks, Dave.
