haiga contest

dressed in opression,
music sodden in blue gloom;
too broken to play

Too broken to play,
The English lute lies idle -
Acappella tunes!


Interesting picture, Reisa, did you paint it?

heya, Janine! Nice to see you around the Haiga thread. Is this the first time?

the object is to write your haiga about the previous posters image, (which I didn't paint! I wish, I think it's pretty cool)

you don't have to take the last line of the previous haiga. just post a new image for the next player.

Her hair in tangles
lays a glimmer like the stars
dazzling even dew.

I believe a Freudian approach may be necessary here.

Steel needle flashes
doctor does not intend pain
it hurts just the same.

Heavenly gold claimed below
Shielding darkest depths

Colorful cranes fly
Across the artist’s palette—
Origami art….

nay, succulent it remains—

Fingers touch the land—
Ghastly grey-white digits of
The long dead sailor…

Goodnight sweet Knight,
Vis a vis upon ebony—
Chess pieces farewell…

As the dawn breaks above the surf—
Evening meal and market…

Pillowed by his pride, yet she
silently rides on

The ectoplasmic hand reaches
Even through his shelter…

Not dead, but lying sleeping—
Beneath the ocean…

Winged nightmares grow larger still
Sooty colonies

An aside here: I wonder how many see the image I put up and notice the angels and how many the bat-winged devils, or that some of the devils are face down? ;)

Hey, I brought it back!
See, here’s your old tennis ball!
Throw it one more time!

black and white of vintage
strums flawless echoing flows
like wings of nature's white flies in her hair

(sorry if I used to many syllables but I really like that picture. It's actually very coincidential because just today I saw a girl strumming a guitar right on the front door step of my friend's ghetto apartment. She looked beautiful although I really couldn't see her face, just like that depiction. )

Sorry 'Dole, I"d like a hip shot at that pic, before I move on!

The notes ring down halls,
Vacated by all, alone—
She plays her guitar

Now for your picture...

The stone is so cold,
Then why is the Church so warm?
Presence not building…

Cold anticipative air -
Blur across ice realm.

“Call nothing up you cannot

Remember me thus,
She kisses blossom gently—
Then passes it to him
