Haiku for Carpe Diem Haiku, Haiku My Heart and Haiku Friday



We are sharing with these creative bloggers:

I dabbled in all kinds of medium only to find my passion in something I have been doing since I was a child and that was photography. I still do some sketching and painting but it is rather on the 'back burner' for now. My energy seems to be going into photography and haiku and yet, I wanted to post something for Paint Party Friday who I have been with for two years now.


Wishing you the best in each day. xxooo

    The gull haiku is my favorite this week, especially the last line, "landing gear ready." The perfect mental image.

    Hi Carol,

    I believe all mediums transcend art. I think there is always a favourite medium for an artist and from time to time working with different tool helps one in becoming more dimensional in their work.
    Luv your photo,homage to the trees, the tiny elves and poetry, magical.

    Take care,
    Annabelle O,O
