So I wrote 2 haiku for prompts each of the three prompts:
withered mums, winter grasses, orchids
feathery plumage
dusted with snow
winter grasses
feathery pampas
brown and gold
against winter white
end of the season
heads bowed in sorrow
withered mums
withered mums
forgotten on doorstep
faded dreams
aerial roots
spreading tendrils
fragrant orchid
fragrance abounds
in overgrown hothouse
winter orchids
These are wonderful images -- especially fond of the winter grasses -- great texture and colors here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, so glad you enjoyed.
DeleteWhat lovely images you have painted...my favs are the grassess series:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! no images because my daughter is highly allergic and i had to dig all mine out a few years ago.
DeleteSorry, I typoed again :-(
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku
Good to see that you grow your own orchids too.
Thanks! Don't give me credit for the orchids - I photographed a large variety of them at the botanical garden's in Washington a few years ago. I wish I could grow my own.
DeleteGreat haiku fare Dolores! So easy flow with great images in layers!
