Travel — 14 September

South Dakota Haiku

Inspired by recent travels

Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota

Under inland seas Caves formed boxwork; earth now breathes And births new life forms.

Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Layered sediments Laid a million years ago Reveal earth’s own past

Devil’s Tower National Monument, Wyoming

Bear Lodge — sacred space, Prayer ties waving in the breeze — No devil lives here.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota

Expressions, stone-faced— What would they think, now, Looking down, on us?

Crazy Horse Monument, South Dakota

Proud monument? Or Desecration? Who Speaks for Crazy Horse?

The Needles (Custer State Park), South Dakota

Alien landscape: Sunshine threads the needle’s eye Where granite meets sky

Each underlined link above leads to more information about the places mentioned, including one post on my own blog that I hope you’ll take the time to explore. It’s really a marvelous trip; if you haven’t experienced it for yourself yet, I highly recommend it.
