A haiga for Colleen’s #Tanka Tuesday picture prompt, below, from artist Michael Seibt, chosen by last month’s poet, Diana Peach.
Inside the earth, it is always green.
What do I see with
out seeing? What sounds reflect
terra’s transcendence?

For my grid this month I decided to try something different–I consulted the collage box oracle for the haiku and incorporated the words into the grid. I tried both photographing and scanning it, but neither exactly captured the colors–they had a strange red cast. I had a little better luck adjusting them in Photoshop with the scanned image, above.
who you are connects
the transit of where you are
to the shape of next
I’m also linking this to Colleen’s #TankaTuesday, poet’s choice of words.
I’m finally seeing some yellow leaves on the street trees outside this morning. But tomorrow is supposed to be 90 degrees…

A haiga using synonyms for Colleen’s #tankaTuesday words, character and wild.
Anmol at dVerse has us thinking about fe/lines.
Fe
lines untamed, perfect,
compose themselves fluidly
in pure cattitude

When I saw Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday words, “pretty ugly”, I couldn’t help thinking of my baseball team, the New York Mets, 13 1/2 games out of first place. But there are some bright spots…
Pete Alonso, New York Mets first baseman, won the Home Run Derby at the All Star Game yesterday.
There’s a long history of baseball haiku, so every once in awhile I indulge. Also good to get back to some drawing.
You can see some of my other baseball haiku here and here and here.
