Oregon Sky

Oregon Sky--photo and Senryu poem
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2016

The sun popped out for just a few minutes–I stepped outside to snap a picture–the result was this photo that looked like the shape of Oregon!  (I did not crop this photo into this shape–it just happened because of the area where I was standing when I took the photo)
I figured this unusual photo deserved a poem to be written for it! 🙂

Neapolitan Sky

 

Neapolitan Sky--Photo and Haiku

I was inspired to write this Haiku after seeing this photo posted in a group called “Cloud Watching and Beautiful Skyscapes” that I belong to on Facebook. As soon as I saw the photo I thought of Neapolitan!
Michelle, who took this photo, gave me permission to post it here on my blog along with the Haiku I wrote.  I am so glad to be able to share this beautiful sky photo with you and the Haiku as well.
