Nature's salvation

Image: A solitary melon (here)

Growing melon left
alone akin to hermit
to fend for himself

Sheltered in lone hut
Today was another day
Nature's salvation

Provided setting
for prolific writings passed
down unselfishly

Note: Following Basho's definition of 'seclusion'  a kind
'of estrangement from the world, living in solitude'  -  Chev

For Chev's CARPE DIEM #729  - growing melons

  8. Hank,

    Seclusion may have been the saviour for that lone melon, at least for now. Nicely hidden from hungry eyes...
