You are climbing up. So nothing to worry about. I like it. And the sketch. You are too good in sketching.
The muse will return. Don't worry much much about it.
Nice sketch and fitting haiku.
I can't write a haiku to save my life.
gautami, thank you!
i think i will try to participate in every kukai they organise.
ah, sketching. just doing what i like to do. :)
liz,
you haven't given it a try yet. :)
modern English haiku need not follow strictly the 5-7-5 syllables structure. (i just learnt that too.) :)
once on TV i saw a Japanese poetess wrote a haiku (strict structure there!)in her language. The calligraphy itself is pure art...
surreptitious love
well i like words and pic
(i should've judged it) :)
I can see the moon and city lights kicking up there heels all the way to dawn. Inching your way to the top. With haiku like this it won't take long.
it is a delightful haiku and it was in the 8th, not 10th place :)
that's pretty good, dsnake1...
(my kigo entry did much worse; free format made it to 5th)
magiceye,
"surreptitious love"? :)
are you referring to the moon who's always bugging the city lights? :)
floots,
that would be splendid! :)
pat,
you are flatterring me. :)
hi polona,
thank you!
10th place is correct. There's an error in the ranking, 8th was counted twice. :)
i haven't try the kigo entry yet. most of the entries are very good. :)
very nice! I used the moon in a haiga tonight, too.
thanks, andrew.
you have a very lovely haiga over there. :)
Do you think "dances" would be better? :)
dsnake1
yes was referring to the 'sunken moon' dancing with 'city lights'! :)
beautifully visualised and presented inded!
hey alson, thanks for the suggestion!
i believe it works too. i opt for "dancing" because i like the reader to think that the action is still going on when he looks down the bridge. :D
magiceye,
thank you, friend! :)
People should read this.
