Haiku My Heart: Topsy Turvy



the world shifts daily

for more Haiku My Heart Friday,
visit my dear friend Rebecca.

Truer words - haiku style - were never written!

That's funny. I just read what Delphyne wrote - I did the same thing! Turned my laptop upside down before I saw the second photo!

Wonderful photos. Great haiku to represent them.

Love the colours in the photographs, and the haiku has more than a grain of truth about it.

Sometimes they’re the same—

Beautiful photos Meri and wise words. Interesting that we both had the idea of reflections this time around. Must be synchronicity. I love your colors and the vibrancy of this post. It is alive with energy and light. Just beautiful!

She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree.
