Across the Valley

Brown hands tend the vines Vinyards drape across the hills Waiting for harvest

A beauty image of the vinyards in wine country! You're so lucky to live near them, Barbara. Your poem reminded me of a movie: "A Walk in the Clouds." Excellent haiku, Love, Carolyn

Well done; I like the way the haiku moves from a detailed focus (brown hands), to the larger context of hills, then moves to a sense of time in the last line.

I'm so thirsty with this one. Son, Art, plays in Mendocino. We travel for miles through Napa Valley. If one stops at every vinyard, one never gets to Mendocino. Love, daver
