deep in the woods
leaves drifting over
what used to be a wall

Thanks, Doug. I wrote this (based on a past experience) within the last few days, then the Sunday morning paper reminded me that today marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. There is no actual connection between the two, but perhaps an imaginative one?

Nice one Bill, no more wall, just the option to mix and mingle, really something worth remembering in haiku

Have a nice Sunday

Much love...

Pardon my copying error. That should be "25th anniversary."

Thanks, Gillena. Something there is that doesn't love a wall.

"...over...a wall"

Well, a lot of thoughts these days about a wall which brought death, tears.

My first visit of the town Berlin was in autumn 1998 -- the wall was history then ... Leaves ... rest of the wall ... A lot of thoughts ...

this really resonates with me, the area of woodland along the Water of Leith which I look after as a volunteer, is full of the remains of old mills which are now in many cases little more than small piles of bricks covered in autumn leaves and ivy

Thanks for sharing the memory, Angelika.

And, Juliet, thanks for sharing the experience.

I'm glad it works for both of you in such different contexts.
