Sometimes I feel it's best to keep things crisp and not mess around with the image too much. This was one of those cases. I simply added text with no effects. This apologetic paragraph reveals my guilty feelings over the fact that the Haiga took less than five minutes to create.

I'm convinced that this blasted CPAP machine is my penance for everything.

Lost Opportunities

I wished to explore

to see different creatures

lacked money and time

never heard a nightingale

never saw the northern lights

World Under Siege

widespread wildfire

more frequent and stronger storms

a world under siege

Without going into too great detail, the poem addresses issues associated with climate change.

I miss the Earthweal blog.

This CPAP mask reminds me of

It's my second night wearing it. I've adjusted to it pretty well, but I want to try the hybrid version. This one is a bit cumbersome.

All aboard the Owlship! Evolved, oviparous Xenomorphs are welcome. 

I spent a good chunk of 2012 writing Aliens crossover fanfic involving such beings. It saved my life, please believe. 

I sometimes wish I'd stuck with writing fan fiction for my own enjoyment. Marketing my work is a nightmare, and I write a lot of romance, which was never my first choice.

Burning question:

What music is great to listen to while creating Haiga posts, and why is it video game soundtracks?

Tolerance

the truth is unknown

I tolerate your belief

comfort in symbols

We don't all have to follow the same path. Life is better for everyone when we have an attitude of tolerance for one another's differences.

I found a butterfly wing

on the pathway walking home

I find it so strange

I've always loved thunderstorms

roaring their comfort
