Fading Horizon is an Outdoor Sensory Experience poem, reflecting on the experiences of one's senses in the Canadian outdoors. Fading Horizon is a poem of four classical Haikus. Classical Haikus feature a 5, 7 and 5 syllable pattern, cannot rhyme, and should use second person pronouns and never first-person pronouns.
Fading Horizon is set in Canadian winter.
Fading Horizon
Wintery sky melts into lake
From which bare oaks rise!
Gliding, calling geese
Snowflakes cloaking rabbit tracks
Waiting for the sun
Her stinging embrace
Chokes, chars your throat breath by breath
Loss of consciousness
Stark arctic beauty
Placid crunching of the snow-
Is a symphony
Stung by potent air,
Painful summer memories
Isolating you
Wintery sky melts into lake
From which bare oaks rise!
Gliding, calling geese
Snowflakes cloaking rabbit tracks
Waiting for the sun
Her stinging embrace
Chokes, chars your throat breath by breath
Loss of consciousness
Stark arctic beauty
Placid crunching of the snow-
Is a symphony
Stung by potent air,
Painful summer memories
Isolating you
And just for fun...
Aliens invade
They vaporized my uncle
Now they come for me
