Love the poetry, Kristin. Compelling imagery and phrasing. Do you find it changing your prose styling? Well done, my friend.:)

Hi! Thank you so much! In this case I wrote the haiku then searched my phone's photos for an image of a mountain top. I am also an avid hiker and have plenty of photos, but I never realized the clouds were shaped like an open heart in this one.

Last night I read an article on the art of traditional haiku, went back and changed the word found to find, because it's supposed to be present tense and I love to honor the art of anything. It's definitely spilling over into my regular writing as well and is changing the prose. Another reason I am currently editing and revising some of my previous work. I have even added a short haiku to many of the older stories.

Thank you always for the support, encouragement and discussion.❤

Thank you, Kristin. The photo of the clouds was just waiting for you.:) I’m interested to see how your prose phrasing evolves out of your interests and practices with Haiku. Staying tuned! Thank you, my friend.
