My first go at a haiga - a visual haiku. [Not a haibun which is something else - Thanks for the pointer Crafty :)] I took this at seven am last September. I was taking out the cold ashes and there was the moon looking wistful in an amethyst sky. I love the moon, she is too beautiful for me to put into words. Though I must say that the Welsh for moon - lluad is somehow evocative for me: liquid and distant.
Sleep well cariad, have soft and gentle dreams
PS.
I found one I wrote a while back. It is not a haiku but I still like it

A jewelled sky
aquamarine, amethyst, lapiz,
scattered lazily with crystal,
a disc of silver.

very beautiful photo and words. I love the moon too.
(Haibun is a piece that is a mix of poetic prose and haiku. I think a visual haiku is called a haiga, but I may be wrong there)
No CGP, I am sure you are correct. I will change it now. Thanks :)
That's lovely. Thanks for teaching me a few things.

Lovely - a jewel laden sky - how beautiful!
oh my!...the sky "scattered lazily with crystal"...that is such a luscious metaphor!
Ohhh, very pretty, I've gotta keep my eye out for some of those, eh!
Oh, yes, the "scattered lazily with crystal" is divine. The haiga is perfect, Sian.
Thank you all :)
and Jessica, every photo you take is a haiga :)
