 <br/>
In a whistling silence<br/>
All night rushed down the road<br/>
Early morning the fields<br/>
Painted a pale yellow<br/>
The buttercups frosted<br/>
Over by the north wind</p>

<p>Already long gone is<br/>
The bright verdant of Spring<br/>
Soon all the leaves will turn<br/>
A vibrant rust color<br/>
Then with a glass of wine<br/>
We&#39;ll reminisce those nights<br/>
Dipping in the tide pools <br/>
Or by the bonfire</p>

<p>When tickled by the cold <br/>
We&#39;ll see our breath escape<br/>
Seeking the quietude<br/>
In seclusion we&#39;ll wait<br/>
For the nightingale song<br/>
To fill the night again</p>

<p>_______</p>

<p>This poem was written using all the prompts from <a href="/@/dailyhaikuprompt@mastodon.world" class="u-url mention">@<span>dailyhaikuprompt@mastodon.world</span></a> for the week of May 17-24, 2025.
