Looking for escape
Not aware of his resources
Flight to freedom lost
Haiku
Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that, like the work in Translucence, reacts both to photography and to words in a language not your own. Begin with a photograph. Now find a poem in a language you don’t know (here’s a good place to look!) Ignore any accompanying English translation (maybe cover it up, or cut-and-paste the original into a new document). Now start translating the poem into English, with the idea that the poem is actually “about” your photograph. Use the look and feel of the words in the original to guide you along as you write, while trying to describe your photograph. It will be a bit of a balancing act, but hopefully it will lead to new and beautiful (and possibly very weird) place

This is the original photo with the original poetry which I found posted at: https://awakenedeye.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/gr-magritte.jpg

Silhouettes in the shade
Sharing common ground

Sneaky squirrel at bird feeder
Crime never pays

Scattered among the trees

Haiku Horizon Weekly Challenge Week#212 Prompt: File

Happy Face Hill
Traveler’s delight to see
Nature smiling
Haiku
I actually happened to see this while
my daughter and I were driving back from the Oregon Coast!
Near Willamina, OR. I spotted what looked to be a big happy face high on the hill to my right.
“Is that a Happy Face up there on that hill?” I asked my daughter who replied “It sure looks like it!”
After stopping to take a picture she did an internet search and found an amazing story regarding the Big Smiley which you can read by clicking this link:

Curious encounter
Of yellow bursts of color
Blooming near the creek
Haiku
I recently came upon these big yellow blooms as I was walking near a small creek. They were just scattered about on the creek’s bank. I am not sure what they are, probably some kind of a lily. They sure brightened up my morning walk!
(If any of you know what they are please let me know in the comment section. Thanks)
