i'm glad you enjoyed them and that the imagery that came to mind translated to you that well. isn't it amazing, how these confused mass of words can despite all limitations, actually create communication from time to time. it is great for me to be inspired by both your photos and your creating from inside you the 5-7-5s. good night.
hola, april. loved these, your perspicuous eye looking to curve the linearity we think makes us comfortable. i'll come back with some 5-7-5 a bit later. i just got back from my unexpected trip to el centro after an interestig dream night.
the dream was long within a sleep that unexpectedly extended to 10 hours. being a guest, not an inmate in a beautiful open and expensive insane asylum for the rich. with a visitor it came time to escape the rich and insane life of the asylum with my host and the visitor, in a violent hollywood style complete with car chase and shooting down an oversized alien disguised as an human. hmmmm. the unconscious clearing out detritus? pointing out that comfortable is as comfortable does can create passivity and acceptance of delimits to our existence to keep up the comfort? so much!
In a land where time whispered through the stones, the fossil lay—a relic of a spiraled shell creature, long vanished. It held echoes of ancient seas, where mythic creatures danced under a lustrous moon, weaving magic into the rock, waiting to be found and to whisper their secrets once more.
Beautiful words Gloria, perfection ❤️ The beach was 'littered' with fossils and my greedy little magpie nature for stones wanted to bundle them all up but I resisted and collected only two. However I did also find a plastic bag and filled it with plastic rubbish and rope and bottles, so I was already overloaded for the steep climb back. How amazing that the past has left us such gems and we are leaving the future a bunch of plastic bottles 😕
This was awesome! I also take tons of pictures like these! I call them textures. and sometimes I even use them as textures in my art. Your haiku number 9 is my favorite:
Thank you so much Jason. I also have a folder labelled 'Textures' 😂. Sometimes I also just point the camera on autofocus and click which is always fun when you get home and download and try to work out 'what the fuzz' is on your screen!!!
Mosaic musings
My favorite is the nose
Dogs have perspective
Sniffing out the truth
Is a challenge we all face
But dogs do it best ❤️

Thank you for sharing this Heidi. I thought that picture might appeal to you the most 😂 Luvluv their cute noses!!
Thank you, April! You know how to read me already!
Ha ha, that's easy, critter lovers unite!
Luv it!
hola, again, april.
now for how i was inspired with my own set of 5-7-5 by your photos. thank you for putting these, as expressions, of you, up for us to enjoy.
~~~
to the face, a face
awash that drips rock-face stone
from-to clockless time
~~~
into a colour
splashed with a hot moment’s
touchable magma.
~~~
icy roads are seen
to be where the blue leaked out
and down to now here,
~~~
the foot’s interface
indented, indelible
and impermanent.
~~~
imagination!
the sea-side big smell not seen
of death birthing life
~~~
where the sacred hoar’s
white frost frosts the grassy shore
in crystalline breath;
~~~
and where shadows know
where their noses fear to tread
sniffing out lost dread
~~~
where passers by-pass
the silk of wormy cocoons
as preconditions
~~~
to wire threads that droop
with the weight of so many words
spoken yet unheard,
~~~
that remain, perhaps,
as remnants without a voice
in this muted frame.
Wonderful as always Guy. I could read each one and know which picture it referred to even without remembering the order of my photos. Perfect ❤️🙏

I guessed correctly
Number seven of the ten.
The rest? I dunno!
I hope that you saw
The answers at the end of post
Shed light on them all ❤️

Thank you for being here Michael. I love sharing the weird way I see the world 😂
Weird? More like wonderful! IMHO at least. I did see those answers!
Ha ha, how wonderful to have my obscure genius finally recognised. I appreciate your appreciation!!

Hope all is well, Dreams within dreams.
gracias, michael. all is indeed well.

all the best with what is changing.
I dream of bringing a mudlark
Me too!! Can you imagine mudlarking the Thames, oh the bottles and coins and clay pipes!! ❤️ You need a mudlark licence in London 🙄
I have the most marvelous book of a very famous mudlark. I pore over daily.
Oooo, that sounds exciting!! I like the sound of 'famous mudlark', I am intrigued already
Mudlark’d: Hidden Histories from the River Thames
Wonderful! I highly recommend Nicola White Mudlark on Youtube, she is quite adorable too, I love her enthusiasm for everything ❤
I love watching them. Thank you. 🙏

Changing the angle
Lie where you would not dare so
the whole world changes

I liked the random pictures, April!
Thank you Saumya ❤ I do end up taking A LOT of these pictures so I thought I may as well do a post of something random for a change 😂
Love these. I too do photo and haiku. Keep on it.
Thanks Joe. Nice! Do you post any? I shall sign up immediately ❤😂🙏
@joeivorymattingly for photo and haiku, April
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, it just says 'coming soon'.
I do. Daily
Excellent. On Substack? It doesn't come up under your name. I'm delighted to find a fellow haiku fan
I love your dog’s nose! How adorable!
Thanks Lois, she is a cute old girl for sure! ❤
