Haiku — Dawn
Life in Portofino
Great poets live on the edge of sanity; mediocre ones reside in the suburbs.

You have your reader looking in multiple directions with just a few short words. Bravo! Love the photo, as well!

Deeply honored. Simple answer. We have a pond out behind our backyard (to the east), and heavy curtains on doors that lead out to a balcony off our bedroom. The curtains were slightly askew and the sunlight on the water was being reflected up on the ceiling in this incredible stripe of waves. Found haiku!

Your explanation may have de-mystified your haiku, but now I know how your word made something so beautiful from something normal

Which came first, the picture or the words? Either way they are a lovely pair.

The picture. A year ago I think. Not our pond, but I thought it worked well.

Thank you! As I told someone else, it was a “found” haiku. I opened my eyes in the early morning and that’s what I saw up on the ceiling.

She’s an inconstant muse. It helps that I never gave up completely on being a child.
