The Ankerwycke Yew. (haibun)

As I wander through the Willows and Yews by the water, it hits me. Everything these great flora beasts have seen. A mere 2000 years old in comparison to the millions of years this earth has turned. Yet my forty years just a falling leaf in time. I wonder what more they will witness. |

I wanted so much more from this...you took me into the forest and left me beside this tree that you gave a brief description of and....that was it!
I did like the comparison of one fallen leaf being equivalent to your time on this earth..that was good but...what did you do with the rest of you time there? What else did you see? smell? experience? A Hiabun should be like a diary and...I hope you add more to it...I really do because it has potential...
