Resigned

Taken 7 May 2017 at the Denver Aquarium


leaf buds become leaves
my dreams never come to pass
I resign myself

The photograph, words, and text art are mine. The Haiga was created using free design elements from Pixlr.com

Any of these will do, and a link back to this blog is appreciated. 

My son and I were celebrating his 27th birthday and Mother's Day at the Denver Aquarium when the top picture was taken.

I used this prompt from the archives of Carpe Diem Haiku to inspire my Haiga.

The sample Haiku was about autumn. My Haiku/Senryu thing is about spring. 

Possibly sharing with the following prompts. Sometimes I forget or crap happens.

    What does a snail (?) dream about, anyway? It's an interesting thought. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      Oh dear, this doesn't speak very well for my photographic abilities! It's a stingray. Thanks for visiting.

    I love your photos of the aquarium and hope (so much) that some of your dreams will come true. Your haiga is packed with emotion.

      Kind thanks. I was feeling rather discouraged when I wrote this as I was just asked to entirely overhaul a piece I submitted for inclusion in an anthology. They want the piece, just a different version of it. Ugh.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
