(I)

cold frost still lingers

lichening wildly on vines

the lone spirit stands

(II)

naked and lonely

it whistles tirelessly

summoning love birds

Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge no. 215 – Poet’s Choice! This time I offer you another sketch of a tree and two haikus to accompany the sketch. Hence, what I actually offer this time is a haiga. Haiga is a haiku accompanied by a picture. Haiga, haiku, well, in reality the separation line is very thin. What’s more important is to enjoy making it.

  3. I learned something, a haiga. Your drawing is beautiful. I had to look up lichening. I didn’t know it was a verb, and found out it can affect people as well. I wouldn’t want it happening wildly on my body! 🙂 Well written.

    1. It’s just a play of words. That’s the beauty of poem, especially haiku when we have limitations on words sometimes. So I made it a verb 😀 😀Thank you for visiting and leaving me a comment. 😊
