Oh I get caught out with spelling as well, haibun is one form I don’t have on my weekly challenge, must add it. My A to Z Challenge in April is all Haibun poetry with nature, I like that form of writing.

Thanks, hope the snow is melting around your home, that would be a challenge. Snowbound, not for me, I think I would freeze too.

Smiles, my husband and I live under Mount Egmont/Taranaki dairy farming for thirty years, we were glad to semi-retire on a beef farm in East Taranaki for fifteen years, still even happier to retire by the seaside in Waitara Taranaki, much warmer than living under the mountain.
