The Phantoms of Yesterday

soul too fragile
always searching for something
always turned away

haunting the future
the phantoms of yesterday
explore the wreckage

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

I hope my interpretation isn't too far out for the Photo Sunday prompt, which is Two. I perceive the photo as having two main subjects: the stingray and the shipwreck. If my suggestion is too far off the rails, please feel free to remove my entry.

You are welcome to use either image, but please credit me.

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

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

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

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

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.
