This is very beautiful, this Danse des arbres. I like it! I think that trees have spirits all their own and that is why we often connect with them so readily. Lovely image, Meri and beautiful Haiku.

What time of the day was this? Was it cold outside?
What an expressive photograph -- and word to go with it.

A flute player just passed by on the street outside and the soothing sounds of music wafted in the room with the breeze.
Good photography!!

lovely reminder...to quiet the mind and rediscover music in the details of life living life around us.

the wind here is teaming up the rise lifting everything in its wake like a bright flapping table cloth licking the sky with a vengeance. we seem to be stuck in the percussion section of life this morning. until the snow falls.
burrrrr.....

Hi Meri~ This photo is magnificent, and your imagery perfectly presents it: the color violet for spirituality, the wind for sensory hearing, the flow of movement--all the deep, symbolic suggestons of our organic selves. Love, Margaret

Haiku My Heart: Basho for Bonnie

Image
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.

Does this haiku measure up?  "A Fairy Moon and a Lonely Shore" - Matsumoto Print # 39, Matsumoto Do, Ltd.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

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.
