Good job with your haibun about the woods and revitalisation. Sometimes all it takes is a quick walk in nature. Good form and meaningful. I enjoyed it.

Ah, Zanya, this speaks to me so well...how I love the woods. The smell of loam and a lonely oriole singing its heart out. I like your photo too...perfect match with your words. :) Maybe someday you can work at home? Best wishes in the contest too. Susan

Ah, sylvan postponements, more likely.
I have a bit of a tense problem here.
In the opening, you mention you're already on your work commute
when you decide to divert into the woods.
Only later do you mention lacing up your boots.
Were you carrying your boots?
Also, I wonder if such a short piece can support two 'brisks'?

Just one man's observations.

Best of luck.

Peace, Lee

This is a good read.
'On my early morning work commute, I divert, to take a brisk walk in the woods.
Forest walks reboot our sensory perceptions sylvan solutions.'
I like how the beginning ties in with the end.
Great artwork: The image is a good match for this writing.
Best of luck to you in the contest.'
Thanks for sharing this.
Good luck with your future writing!
