This was written for Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge.  This week the form was poet’s choice, but we were also supposed to choose a color.  I chose white and two haiku-like poems (a haiku and a senryu) of form 5-7-5 and 3-5-3 (verified at sodacoffee.com/syllables).  I am also going to join Rebecca today.  I chose my own photo.  I’m not 100% sure if this really counts as a haiga, but hopefully it will work :)

    I really like the way these two pieces compliment each other … almost a statement and question of sorts … speaks of quiet contemplation and the desire to begin afresh …. and what lovely images Trent ….. truly a gift chanced upon …. (I’ve read the other posts too … how delightful to be able to walk into such a situation and be witness!)

      Thanks, Colleen. OK, I get it. I have done that before, but not here – maybe I will change it. Rebecca said “use this picture or one of your own to make a haiga” without really explaining what it was, so… I will go back and change it to say haiku and senryu :)

          lol, OK. Wikipedia says haiga is the image itself, a painting that is supposed to portray the idea esthetics of a haiku. Anyway, it is all good. I have made Haifa in the past, but it has been a while.
