A's haikus — week 9
Week 9 already!
Day 57 • 31 Oct • Blois to Sarlat-la-Canéda
Cobblestones, candy
And des bonbons ou un sort:
A French Halloween.
Day 58 • 1 Nov • Sarlat-la-Canéda
The Dordogne invites
Exclamations of rapture
As our pedals turn.
Day 59 • 2 Nov • Sarlat-la-Canéda to Carcassonne
We meet Philippe
At the Saturday markets.
He admires F’s art.
Day 60 • 3 Nov • Carcassonne
Two small meeples play.
Two big meeples stand on roads.
Carcassonne for real!
Day 61 • 4 Nov • Carcassonne to Montélimar
Our host, Jean-René,
Cooks a mean mignon and then
Says he wrote The Crown.
Day 62 • 5 Nov • Montélimar
Charcoal mammoths roam
Walls rubbed smooth by cave bears in
The world's oldest art.
Day 63 • 6 Nov • Montélimar to Saint-Jean-de-Sixt
The sun's golden rays
Peer over misty mountains
Into green valleys.
