I tell him it’s not
that simple

quiet hour
the gaze drifts
inwards
tolerating shade
the double life of Japanese
anemones

we tell ourselves…

A hot, humid day. I’m looking at cooling photos like this one from a visit to Wells-next-the Sea, North Norfolk.
There’s always a cooling breeze there. I can almost feel it. A sort of teleportation…
waiting for the tide
that’s not waiting for me—
children crabbing

waiting room
the plastic rose blooms
and blooms

I took this photo not realising the flowers were plastic! But then I had enough time afterwards to discover the truth…

2 challenges in one!
This is a #photo #haiga responding to the new book which includes a chapter on #haiku from the Haiku & the Brain project !

It is also my book cover for day 2 of the book cover challenge! I accepted the challenge from Shrikaanth Krishnamurthy to post covers of 7 books that I have read! No explanation, no reviews, just the covers. Each time I post a cover I’m expected to ask 3 of my friends to take up the challenge as well.
I know that this is a difficult request, as not every friend likes challenges, and even those who do, find it difficult to finish all challenges…so to make it easier for everyone, I’m suggesting here if a friend likes the idea to take it up, and tag me, so that I follow their book covers…
