This is a nicely written poem. An amazing vibrant presentation. Very well put together. I love your photo of the chair. Old but elegant. Absolutely Love this.

You have certainly mastered the art of the ambiguous abstract style thst suits the art of short form Gypsy, you show the way so well in these styles, you have been a great teacher by your example, thank you, blessings, Roy

A haiku that fits
with its photo perfectly.
Which of them came first?

If I had to guess, it would be that you found the photo and then wrote the poem about what you saw in the photo. If, however, it was done the other way around, and you found the photo after writing the haiku, well done. Or the third option is that you took the photo yourself? Regards.

    Hello, Thomas,

    The poem came first and after I Google search pictures until I find the right picture, but I also do it the other way around. It depends how my muse works.


    Thank you very much for your time, kind review, and helpfull feedback.

I remember those wicker seat chairs. Sitting so slowly and carefully as we wondered if it would support our weight. So fragile yet sturdy. They surprised us all.

Love the "weight of summer!" With all the heat and sweat and the summer gardening labors, we do feel extra heavy and that poor chair bears the brunt of it! Wonderfully expressed!

I like your summer haiku poem - Most excellent picture presentation - good enough to hang on the wall!!! I love the clarity and crispness. I would love to sit there in all that beauty and write... - Your poem has a good flow and paints a clear picture - leaving one to imagine the person who would wears the sun hat - Good job.

Quite a lovely haiku,
Gypsy Blue Rose. With the
end of summer fast approaching, I'm appreciating
summer poems even more.
Have a tranquil evening.
Many blessings to you. ~

Classic shot. Very relaxing and soothing. A perfect place to spend the summer but I'm afraid the chair would definitely "sag dangerously" under my weight.

Nicely worded.
