My son and I were having a conversation recently that reminded me of the “visual haiku” he and his classmates wrote when I took them on an outing last year. Of course, I had to provide an example for them. What do I do when I have to write a haiku “on the spot” for a bunch of sixth graders? I write a silly haiku based on a photo of pansies, of course!
Angry footless men
Glare when I pause for a look
Or, are they…puppies

In case you need a bit of silly to lighten the heavy load of Monday…

A few days ago, I was “playing” around with an iPhone teddy bear photo and a cross photo I’d taken while the family and I walked a “new” trail just the day before (more on that later). This is one result:
Hubby said “Weird.” One friend said, “Different”–she was being kind. Another said, “Creepy.” Yet another friend missed the teddy bear completely. She saw the Virgin Mary with the Christ child. She thought the message of the image was “From the Cradle to the Cross.” Hilarious!
Since I was having so much fun, I sent it to Cakers and Dee, my wonderful swapping photog friends. They missed the “LOL” at the end of my message and took it so seriously. Cakers even suggested ways for improvement. Maybe, I’ll try her tips and see if we can make something of this!
For the record, my little one liked it. 🙂
