I think that this is one of the most beautiful angels that you have posted. She has a deeply spiritual quality unlike the more cherubic angels of the past ~ more of the divine feminine about her -something very forthright and good. I like it and the haiku is lovely. I didn't haiku today. I did something different for a friend. xo, Noelle
This ANGEL is soOOooO pretty,is that pine draped around her shoulders?!! and the raising of the roses!!! SWEET! I wish we could have statues on our graves but my final resting place,they don't allow them anymore!!Drat!!I have 2 places really, the story of the country mouse and the city mouse, well, my husband is the city mouse and the other resting place is upon a hill out in the country(out in the sticks!)for country mice like me! I have to decide where I would rather be, beside my city mouse or upon a hill lonely, well NOT, most of my relatives are buried here but mom and dad won't be soOOo whatever!!!
Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
Bonnie of Original Art Studio recently bashed what she refers to as pseudo-haiku , saying she refuses to leave comments on blogs that post them. She says, "A haiku true to its original form should contain a seasonal reference, not be subjective, and contain a line that juxtaposes in clear contrast to the other two. " ` She goes on, "Rarely do blog-posted haiku even meet one of the criteria, let alone all three." So this week, I'm posting a haiku from one of the masters. Does this haiku measure up? "A Fairy Moon and a Lonely Shore" - Matsumoto Print # 39, Matsumoto Do, Ltd. Tokyo thought to be pre-1915 Japanese woodcut print Autumnal full moon the tides slosh and foam coming in - Bashö Haiku My Heart
